Cape not needed, just 3 minutes of your time!! North America's duck factory is under imminent threat. A little-know federal rule now under review could determine whether millions of acres of Prairie pothole wetlands--the breeding grounds that produce about 1/3rd of the continent's ducks and were purchased with generations of duck stamp dollars--will remain intact. DU's Scott Stephens and Dr. Mike Brasher explain in less than 20 minutes what's at stake, why you should care, and what you can do before the August 7 public comment deadline.
