Just as the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund
helps land trusts in Wisconsin protect wild and natural places,
Gathering Waters believes there should be a statewide program to
help landowners protect the working farms that are central to Wisconsin's
heritage.
A Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program
is designed to protect operating farms to keep Wisconsin farmers
farming.
While no state-wide program yet exists,
progress is being made, and several local governments are working
to protect farmland in their communities.
