§ 1346 Wild Bird Habitat Protection

This law tells the board to look for land that can be used as safe homes for wild ducks, shore birds, and other birds, and to see if they can get rights to protect those lands.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board must identify lands that are good for wild bird cover.
  • •It focuses on waterfowl, shore birds, and upland birds.
  • •The board can seek easements to protect those lands.

Example

The board finds a swampy field near a river that is perfect for ducks to nest and decides to get an easement so the land stays untouched.

Because the law says the board should locate good bird habitat and try to get easements, they can legally make sure the swamp stays a safe place for the ducks to live and raise their young.
