The Milwaukee Area Land Conservancy (MALC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization promoting the conservation of important natural habitats by helping landowners protect their property using conservation methods such as easements, land donations, and fee simple purchase.

MALC President, Delene Hanson said, “The Franklin Savanna was selected to receive funding because of its location within the Root River watershed where MALC has agreed to assist with the distribution of funds from a third-party settlement.”
