Well after much thought and much reading on the prior post and doing a little research on my own, I have come to find that yes maybe DU does some things that are shady but hey I do to everyday Im human, but the bottom line is they have and continue to save wetlands. Thats a proven fact. They have saved many nesting areas which in turned have helped the duck numbers. I Do think DU could do more int he south and I hope to see more in the future. Besides do we have any other options for big time support and fight for wetlands.

Go to a banquet on night, have a few too many, and bid on some stuff! That has always been my weakness! Then I complain about the $500 I spent the next day, then I realize that it was for a good cause. Heck I can't remember a time when I didn't come out ahead at a banquet!

:wink:

That's why I'm a member and my two young sons are greenwings. They are an asset to the conservation effort in especially the Lower Mississippi Valley. I support Delta and several other conservation efforts, too, but DU accomplishes through partnerships in our part of the world what other NGO partners simply can not.

Using conservation easements, DU has protected millions of acres (some of which were very important wetlands) from development or simple conversion. They probably rank in the top 5 conservation groups for saving / protecting land. Once a conservation easement is placed on the land it is protected "FOR EVER... IN PERPITUITY"! Without the efforts of DU since 1937... Mississippi would not have ducks on a good day.
