Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: 126 p. : ill. ; 28 cmAbstract: The Canadian prairie provinces contain more than 42.5 million acres (17.2 million ha) of unimproved (ie. native) range and pastureland. That vast area forms the foundation for most of the region's cattle industry.It also provides valuable habitat for many wildlife species, including waterfowl. Waterfowl biologists have long recognized that grazing lands produce waterfowl (Bennett 1938, Bue et al. 1952). Since planning began for delivery of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) -and to some degree even prior to that time - DU has realized the importance of all grasslands, including grazed land, in waterfowl production. As a result, Ducks Unlimited has been committed to influencing grassland use and to the delivery of programs on grazed lands. Initial estimates of potential duck production were based on a variety of published literature as was the design and criteria for grazing systems.
