In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment (Legacy Amendment) to the Minnesota Constitution to: protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Some of Pioneer PBS' programs are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
If you are in support of arts, cultural and heritage, please tell your local legislators.
For more information about Pioneer PBS' programs supported by these funds please contact our production director at 1-800-726-3178 or email yourtv@pioneer.org.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would eliminate all federal funding for public media that's already approved by law. The Senate has until July 18 to act on this measure. Meaning there is still time to make your voice heard to urge them to vote against the bill. This funding – about $1.60 per person each year would dismantle essential services that countless communities count on.
