Vision Statement: The Driftless Stewardship Initiative (DSI) believes that collaboration works and that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  DSI works with public and private landowners to educate, train, and apply the best land management practices across northwest Illinois’ extraordinary landscape.  We do this to promote and improve land and water health for the lasting well-being of all people and wildlife.
