Highland Valley Farm featured on Public TV

Highland Valley Farm is featured this week on In Wisconsin, hosted by Patty Loew on Wisconsin Public Television. The special documentary called “Land Trusts” airs at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 14. It will encore at noon, Sunday, June 17, and 11:30 p.m. Monday, June 18. On Sunday, June 17 at 3:30 p.m. it airs on WDSE-TV in Duluth.

The show highlights stories about properties around the state that have been protected forever by private landowners working with land trusts. The documentary interviews Bayfield growers, Rick and Janet Dale (and one of their sons Chris) about Highland Valley Farm and the Town of Bayfield’s Farmland Preservation Program. The Bayfield Regional Conservancy administered the program for the Town and worked with the Dales to coordinate the preservation of their farm.

Landowners from other corners of the state, including Door County, Chippewa and Douglas Counties relate their experiences working with a land trust to preserve their land.
