The Kootenai Valley (Libby) Ducks Unlimited 33rd Annual Banquet fundraiser will be held Saturday, April 28 from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the Ponderosa Room at Libby City Hall.
The Ducks Unlimited website states that fundraisers such as Libby’s help to ensure waterfowl have places to nest, raise young, migrate through and winter each year. Money raised goes toward conserving, “wetlands and critical upland habitat vital to North America’s waterfowl and the more than 900 other species of wildlife that use these same habitats.”
KVDU also supports ongoing projects to preserve habitats in the local area, said group member Jon Jeresek.
