Ducks Martin Ducks? Rowse Lake Marsh Water Plan
Ducks Unlimited Canada reached a written agreement with surrounding landowners to build a small dam at the North end of Rowse Lake to preserve the marsh while protecting hayland. Water levels will be managed to allow spring nesting and summer hay harvest, with a maximum area around 540 acres. The arrangement avoids land purchase and benefits both ducks and farmers.
