Drivers passing by the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA) can now see that the area is a Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) project. Signs were put up this fall in honour of Lloyd Shopa’s father, Alex, and BettyLou Christenson’s husband, Grant. DUC has been sponsoring the area since the early 1970s, spending $1.5 million through early 1980s, and another $1.3 million since 2006 on a major reconstruction and repair phase. Funds are raised locally with a banquet each fall, with this year’s bringing in $32, 005.
