🚨 DUCK HUNTERS — THIS IS URGENT🚨
The USFWS is considering weakening protections for the Prairie Pothole Region—the breeding grounds that produce roughly half to two-thirds of North America’s ducks. If these protections are rolled back, expanded drain tiling could drain critical shallow wetlands already suffering from drought, with lasting impacts on duck populations, migration, and the future of our hunting seasons.
Duck hunters paid for these conservation easements with Duck Stamp dollars. We need to defend that investment.
