March 2023 meeting: Jennifer Filipiak , Exec Dir of the Driftless Area Land Conservancy

 

Jennifer Filipiak, Executive Director of the Driftless Area Land Conservancy (DALC), spoke with us about the work the DALC works on in the driftless area. They have three focus areas which are land protection, land care, and land connection. 8000 acres have been protected with their help so far. This is done through conservation easements and their Ambassador lands. 

Easements allow the landowners to keep the land in private ownership, but protects the land from being developed in the future. Ambassador lands are lands DALC own and are open to the public to enjoy. Check out their Ambassador lands, all of them are within an hour drive! Land care and protection are done with work parties on their Ambassador lands and educational programs.
