The Door County Land Trust celebrated a banner year in 2024, completing 17 conservation projects through both land purchases and conservation easements. Find a list of those projects in this blog article by DCLT.
Executive Director Emily Wood discussed these achievements on the Door County Pulse Podcast, highlighting how the projects were funded through donations and grants from the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.
Wood noted that land acquisition is Door County Land Trust’s focus for the next five years, driven by increasing development pressure and transfer of generational wealth. Since land protection deals can take decades to complete, establishing early relationships with landowners is crucial – and the Stewardship Program’s grant funding is an essential tool in this process.
