We are grateful and excited for the community partnership with Landmark Conservancy and all of those that donated to make public protection of Pine Coulee a reality!

We’re working with landowners in the Driftless Area to conserve strongholds for diversity and add critical protections for our rivers and streams. This past year, our community came together and raised funds to permanently protect the Pine Coulee, a local gem located at the confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers!

Join us in continuing to conserve the scenic landscapes and critical habitat northwest Wisconsin is known for, and help protect this natural legacy for everyone, forever!
