Hello, Rocky et al. As a wildfowler (ducks and geese) in Nova Scotia, I'm a firm supporter of an outfit called Ducks Unlimited. I don't know if there's a UK equivalent. If not, there should be. DU's focus is on marsh protection and remediation; land acquisition, co-operation with farmers for mutually beneficial purposes, breeding site protection, and all that good stuff. Core organizers in N. America were and remain gunners and sensible conservationists. If there is no UK equivalent, wildfowlers there should Google 'em up, explore the possibilities, and start flighting (as it were).
