Cargill commits $243,000 to Ducks Unlimited for New York wetland conservation

"Cargill has given us a tremendous opportunity to launch several new important habitat restoration projects in the area that would have otherwise not been possible. This type of funding is crucial to the success of our conservation program here in New York," said Brandy Neveldine, DU biologist in New York.
