A local power company is preserving more than 100 acres.
Dairyland Power Cooperative is allowing the Mississippi Valley Conservancy to permanently preserve 110 acres of bluffland along the Mississippi River near Alma.
The river and bluffs there draw in people every year to watch tundra swans.
The company is also donating more than $12,000 dollars to support the conservancy's restoration of the land.
Dairyland Power says it will partner with the conservancy to restore the natural areas on the property.
