Sharing our commitment to protect and preserve the natural environment in western Wisconsin is a foundation upon which we were built. Within this context, there is great opportunity for West Wisconsin Land Trust to work collaboratively with our conservation colleagues. We share the same geography and in some cases have the same priorities.
Across the state line, there are several other land trust neighbors operating in the Upper Mississippi River with whom we cooperate. These include Minnesota Land Trust, Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, Jo Davies Conservation Foundation, Illinois Natural Land Institute, and Mississippi Valley Conservancy, mentioned above. Working with public resource agencies, national conservation groups, and national and local sportsmen organizations has proved to be an effective way to protect land.
