Sand County Foundation, based in Madison, WI, collaborates with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service and other partners to address conservation issues in the ecologically significant Driftless Area of Wisconsin. Through the Driftless Region Conservation Partnership, they work to improve land management practices, reduce erosion, enhance habitat for grassland birds and pollinators, and promote sustainable agriculture.
By leveraging resources and expertise from various organizations, including Valley Stewardship Network and The Nature Conservancy in Wisconsin, Sand County Foundation aims to enroll eligible landowners in conservation contracts, convert cropland to permanent vegetative cover, and enhance ecosystem services on degraded prairie and savanna habitats over a five-year period.
