The association provides training, certification, and resources for wallers, ensuring high standards in craftsmanship and sustainability. Founded in 1968, the DSWA also works to raise awareness about the ecological and cultural significance of dry stone walls, which serve as important habitats for wildlife and contribute to the landscape's character. The association organizes events, workshops, and competitions to engage both professionals and enthusiasts in this ancient craft.
