Conserve your land for the future
Wetlands are places where memories are made. Playing among the cattails with your friends, or learning to hunt with your parents or skating on a frozen pond with your own children. Protect those memories by protecting your land.
Conservation agreements (also referred to as conservation easements) are legal tools that restrict some land uses while allowing others. You maintain ownership of your land, while making a commitment to conserve its natural areas. Ducks Unlimited Canada easement payments are based oncurrent land values—the average landowner payment last year was $135,000. And they’re compatible with grazing, haying and other low-impact land uses. In addition, “occasionally cultivated wetlands” can be broken during dry periods and tame uplands can be cultivated for rejuvenation once every 10 years.
