2008 FEDERAL DUCK STAMP CONTEST Phone: 320-589-1001 |
The Morris Wetland Management District, a land management office of the 
United States Fish and Wildlife Service, was established in 1964 to preserve and protect habitat critical to waterfowl and other prairie wildlife.
We manage 244 separate parcels of federally owned land called Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs) within an eight county district. Together, the 244 WPAs encompass over 50,000 acres of land dedicated to wildlife and wildlife dependent public recreation.
The Morris Wetland Management District also oversees over 20,000 acres of privately owned wetlands protected by permanent easements prohibiting wetland destruction and 2,500 acres of wetlands and surrounding grasslands that, while remaining privately owned, are managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service and forever protected by conservation easements.
Finally, the Morris Wetland Management District coordinates an exciting program to restore wildlife habitat on private land through voluntary agreements between the government and private landowners.
