Description
Nebraska's Rainwater Basin is a critical stopover for more than 8 million migrating waterfowl and wetland-dependent birds each year. When the Paul Tract, adjacent to Miller's Pond Waterfowl Production Area, became available, DU stepped in with a vision: restore this important habitat and eventually transfer it to the US Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the protected WPA.
Today, crews are removing years of accumulated sediment, restoring wetland function, planting diverse native grasses and wildflowers, and replacing a failing water-control structure that will benefit both properties. The result? Better habitat for migrating waterfowl and a healthier wetland ecosystem for generations to come.
