Revolving Land Acquisition Program (RLAP)

About The Program

Through the Revolving Land Acquisition Program, Ducks Unlimited identifies a property for sale with much of the habitat value intact, but where there is a high risk of losing this habitat because it is not protected by easements and is adjacent to intensively cropped lands. DU then purchases it from the willing seller at market value, restores those habitat features that are degraded, and places a conservation easement on the property. Once restored and protected from future demise, DU sells the property to a conservation buyer. Potential buyers include ranchers and other conservation-minded private individuals, and state or federal natural resource management agencies.
