Declining duck populations are the impulse for a save the wetlands rally in Minnesota, but now the coalition is broadening to include many other interests and people affected by wetland loss. While ducks aren't disappearing as fast in Michigan, wetlands are.
"Date for the rally at the Capitol in support of Minnesota ducks, wetlands and clean water will be Saturday, April 2. Time will be 1 p.m.
Interest in the rally, spurred initially by Minnesota duck hunters, is growing, and likely for the first time in the state will see sportsmen and women -- meaning, generally, hunters and anglers -- join with environmentalists in an effort to jump-start a broad-based overhaul in the way wetlands, wetland wildlife and water are managed and conserved in the state."
