Rush Lake Watershed Restoration, Inc.
Receives NAWCA Grant
On October 14th Ducks Unlimited received a
$1,000,000 grant on behalf of Rush Lake Watershed Restoration, Inc.
The grant was presented by Lynn Scarlett, Assistant Secretary of Policy,
Management, and Budget at the Department of the Interior. The North
American Wetland Conservation Act, or NAWCA, provides Federal grant funds
for various large scale projects across the U.S. The grant funds
will be used to fund the Rush Lake restoration efforts. About
$465,000 will be used to construct a new dam at the outlet of Rush
Lake. The remaining portion of the grant will be used for land
acquisition and other habitat restoration projects.
