The DALCI Act would reestablish the Driftless Area Landscape Conservation Initiative in the Midwest. It directs the Secretary of Agriculture to support practices that reduce erosion, improve soil and water health, restore habitats, and help cold water streams. The initiative would also support partnerships that educate landowners and operators.
Producers could receive financial or technical assistance for conservation practices. Landowners and operators could receive education through grassroots partnerships. The Secretary could also make payments for easements conveyed to the Secretary. The bill does not specify who would qualify or how to apply.
The bill directs $5 million per year from funds available for the relevant conservation subchapter for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
