Ducks Unlimited and partners from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and Jefferson County gathered in December to install a new sign and rededicate a wetlands enhancement project on Florida's Lake Miccosukee in celebration of DU's 75th Anniversary.

Lake Miccosukee, a 6,312-acre Jefferson County lake west of Monticello, is managed by the FWC and the Northwest Florida Water Management District to maintain high-quality wetland habitat for waterfowl while also providing public hunting opportunities. 

"Lake Miccosukee is an important wintering area for ring-necked ducks in the Atlantic Flyway," said Craig LeSchack, DU director of conservation programs. "The area also provides brood-rearing habitat for wood ducks and some of the finest duck hunting opportunities in northern Florida."
