Bluffland preservation

The Bluffland Coalition announced the approval of four bluff land grants by the La Crosse County Board.  This marks another major step forward for regional trail connectivity and habitat restoration in the county. The group follows a plan to encourage conservation and recreation throughout the Coulee Region. The Bluffland Plan was developed in 2016. Its goals are improving public health, ecological diversity, connected communities, economic strength, and a high quality of life.  The coalition represents a group of communities and shared goals of preservation and recreation on bluff lands. The efforts encourage and support hundreds of volunteers to spend Saturday afternoons building trails or clearing invasive species. Leonardo Silva, a Supervisor for the Town of Medary and member of the Coalition, joined Sean Dwyer on Lacrosse Talk on Tuesday to discuss the preservation accomplishments of the Coalition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
