Amid development pressures, county backs major land conservation project
Efforts to preserve a landscape with ecological and cultural significance took a major step forward Thursday, when the Dane County Board agreed to purchase 165 acres of land in the town of Dunn.
A collaborative project with nonprofit organization Groundswell Conservancy, the county aims to protect the land from development in perpetuity and return it to its original caretakers, the Ho-Chunk Nation. To learn more, our News Producer Faye Parks sat down with Heidi Habeger, Groundswell’s executive director.
