Many DU projects are on private land. That's why landowners are some of DU's most important partners.

Meet Mr. Smith. He owns a 200-acre farm in Wisconsin, but 25 acres flood part of each year. He can't use this land to grow crops. Maybe he could restore his 25 acres to wetland habitat. Mr. Smith calls DU and talks to a biologist. The biologist says his land might make a good DU project. What happens next?
