Driftless Area Land Conservancy

is a land trust organization based in Dodgeville, Wisconsin.  Its purpose is “to maintain and enhance the health, diversity and beauty of Southwest Wisconsin’s natural and agricultural landscape through permanent land protection and restoration, and improve people’s lives by connecting them to the land and to each other.”  driftlessconservancy.org  DALC opposes construction of the transmission lines since they will negatively impact the qualities they are mandated to preserve.   To help devise a strategy to prevent construction of the lines they have retained the services of the Environmental Law and Policy Center, hired a community organizer, and are working closely with Driftless Defenders.
