Fort Collins, Colorado - Nov. 3, 2025 - Ducks Unlimited is pleased to be the recipient of a RESTORE Colorado grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), thanks to a financial contribution from Chevron, for wetland conservation activities in the South Platte basin in northeastern Colorado. This grant will enable Ducks Unlimited to enhance the availability and quality of wetland habitats for ducks, geese, and other waterfowl.
The project will help conserve 400 acres of wetland habitat and help improve capacity for waterfowl on more than 700 acres of public land.
"Ducks Unlimited is grateful for Chevron’s support to help with wetland conservation in northeastern Colorado," said Jojo La, DU’s manager of Conservation Programs in Colorado. "Our partnership and support with Chevron and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation demonstrates the broad commitment to land and wildlife conservation in Colorado and across the country."
NFWF's RESTORE Colorado program provides financial resources for habitat restoration and stewardship conservation projects in Colorado, designed to benefit wildlife and local communities. Northeastern Colorado represents important habitat for waterfowl and migratory birds. Strong partnerships with landowners, conservation organizations and private businesses demonstrate the collaborative nature of land and wildlife conservation.
"Chevron's support of Ducks Unlimited and dedication to wildlife conservation demonstrates our ongoing commitment to community initiatives and conservation efforts across Colorado," said Bobby Hulett, director of Chevron Colorado Operations. "Chevron's commitment to wildlife conservation initiatives throughout Colorado is integral to sustaining its reputation as the leading oil and gas operator in the state."
