For over seventy years, The Nature Conservancy has cultivated a reputation as a nonpartisan, science-based conservation agency more interested in buying and protecting land than engaging in electoral politics.  That nonpartisan stance has generally served the organization well.  As of 2021, The Nature Conservancy had over a million members and had permanently protected 119 million acres of critical habitat worldwide.  Here in Wisconsin, two ballot measures to amend the state constitution have inspired local chapter of the Nature Conservancy to break with that apolitical tradition.  Elizabeth Koehler, Wisconsin State Director for The Nature Conservancy joined the Monday Buzz on August 12, 2024.
