Delta Marsh**

The historic Delta Marsh is well known for Delta Waterfowl’s name and roots. Since the organization first started studying ducks, it has played an integral role in the development of many waterfowl biologists throughout North America. Come explore Delta’s property, including the MERP (Marsh Ecology Research Program) cells and take a tour of Kirchhoffer and York (Childs) Lodge. Self guided and guided tours prior to the NADS conference will be offered. There are accommodations for a limited number of guests on Sunday night. Meals and beverages available.
