How Wetland Easements Restore Habitat for Ducks, Deer & Pheasants | Nate Fore, Pheasants Forever

What does a Pheasants Forever wetland easement biologist actually do—and why should duck hunters, deer hunters, upland hunters, and conservation-minded landowners care?

This week, Nate Fore of Pheasants Forever joins the Upduck Podcast to break down wetland and floodplain easements, private-land habitat restoration, and the partnership between Pheasants Forever, NRCS, Ducks Unlimited, Wisconsin Waterfowl Association, and private landowners. Nate explains how conservation easements work, how landowners are compensated, what they can still do on enrolled property, and how restored wetlands, prairie, and upland buffers benefit wildlife from mallards and pheasants to whitetails and trout.

They also dig into prescribed fire, invasive-species management, wetland restoration timelines, public-access opportunities, and how landowners can explore conservation programs through their local NRCS office.
