On Wed., April 23, Gov. Tony Evers joined stakeholders for a hike at the Wintergreen property in Spring Green, which is managed by the Driftless Area Land Conservancy (DALC), a nonprofit organization that works to maintain and enhance the health and diversity of Southwest Wisconsin’s natural and agricultural landscape through permanent land protection and restoration. The DALC hopes to purchase the Wintergreen property through Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program funds, federal funds, and private donations. Through these funds, the DALC hopes to renovate the building, driveway, and parking lot of the Wintergreen property. Additionally, these funds would help the DALC manage the land for native biodiversity and climate resilience and build a sustainable trail system for nature-based recreation. Photo contributed.
