It’s no surprise 2020 has been a year of ups and downs in terms of funding for the Northland Arboretum.
Right now, the conservation nonprofit in Brainerd and Baxter looks to be operating at a deficit of about $54,000 for fiscal year 2020-21, but Executive Director Candice Zimmermann hopes things can get back on track.
