Since 2000, Driftless Area Land Conservancy (DALC) has worked to maintain and enhance the health, diversity and beauty of Southwest Wisconsin's natural and agricultural landscape through permanent land protection and restoration, and to improve people's lives by connecting them to the land and to each other. Our service area includes seven counties in the southern Driftless Area, a uniquely hilly and rocky region that straddles Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois.
