BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — Ducks Unlimited has opened an office in Brookings in its effort to expand the waterfowl habitat in South Dakota’s Prairie Pothole Region.

The group is located in the same research park building at South Dakota State University as Pheasants Forever, which opened a Brookings office last year.

Ducks Unlimited hired SDSU graduate Steve Donovan as manager of conservation programs for the state. He says he’ll work with private landowners, conservation partners and other agencies to develop and build habitat projects statewide, especially in the pothole region.

Donovan says the creation of the office shows the group is committed to doing more to reverse the trend of declining waterfowl habitat.

Ducks Unlimited earlier pledged to spend $1.8 million dollars on conservation programs in the state over the next five years.
