Alliant Energy and the Clean Lakes Alliance teamed up to donate $100,000 to restore a Madison nature conservancy Thursday.
The grant money will be used to restore newly purchased parcel of the Pheasant Branch Conservancy. That conservancy is expected to provide added runoff control for Lake Mendota.
This year Dane County purchased a 160-acre farm immediately to the north of the conservancy for $10 million, which will further filter storm water before it reaches Lake Mendota.
According to Dane County Executive Joe Parisi:
