Conservation. Care. Connection.

Tucked in Wisconsin’s untouched southwest corner, the Driftless Area is nature’s masterpiece. In a place where glaciers never tread, a landscape of rugged wild beauty and charm remains. With dramatic bluffs, spring-fed streams, and rare ecosystems, this land isn’t just scenic, it’s sacred. 

This land boasts high biodiversity, sustains clean water, anchors our cultural heritage, and stands tall as a resilient climate champion. But this gift is not guaranteed. Without action now, we risk losing the very landscapes that bring our communities together.

For over 25 years, Driftless Area Land Conservancy has lovingly protected, preserved, and celebrated the Driftless so its wonders endure for generations to come. We believe connecting people to nature, and each other, is a gift worth passing on. 

At Driftless Area Land Conservancy, we protect the land that defines this region–healthy habitats, clean water, working farms, and open spaces. Through voluntary conservation easements, we partner with landowners to permanently safeguard these places from development. Each easement is a lasting commitment to conservation. Opportunities to protect land are time-sensitive, and thoughtful action today helps ensure the Driftless remains vibrant and resilient for generations to come.
