MEMPHIS, Tenn. July 12, 2017 Ducks Unlimiteds latest online film tells the story of two partners who built a haven for waterfowl and other wildlife in Delaware.

Joe Rowan, a Director of Fundraising and Volunteer Relations for Ducks Unlimited, and Bill Lingo, a longtime DU volunteer, worked together for three decades to manage a 160-acre farm for wildlife and raise money for Ducks Unlimiteds continental mission. Along the way, they developed a special friendship based in the traditions of waterfowl hunting and conservation.

"Ive got a duck blind out here on the marsh, and its the 50th year that Ive done that blind, and thats special to me, said Rowan. "This farm is my hobby. Im very fortunate in the relationship I have with Bill that Im able to perform the management and caretake the farm. We have a common bond, and thats working with waterfowl and wildlife and making sure we have a place for them here in Taylors Bridge."
