Daughter of Earth Day Founder resigns from WI Public Land Agency

Months after Wisconsin's public lands agency banned its employees from discussing climate change while on the job, its executive secretary is stepping down.

Tia Nelson, who served as executive secretary of the Board of Commissioners of Public Lands for 11 years, announced her resignation on Tuesday. She said she'll start an "exciting opportunity" on Aug. 1.

Nelson is the daughter of former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson, the founder of Earth Day. She was publicly at odds for months with State Treasurer Matt Adamczyk, who in April pushed a resolution to ban the agency's employees from doing any work related to climate change on state time.
