Mallard Haven Farm in Dorchester County, Md.

Farmer Jerry Harris of Church Creek, Md., poses with his dogs Maggie and Bo next to a water empoundment created for waterfowl habitat on Harris's property on March 11, 2014. With financial assistance from the state of Maryland, Ducks Unlimited and North American Wetlands Conservation Act Grants (NAWCA), Harris built berms to create a series of separate water impoundments for use by waterfowl across 80 acres of the 230-acre farm. “We had a lot of ducks out here and (Maryland Department of Natural Resources) thought this would be a good opportunity,” said Harris, who acquired the farm roughly 20 years prior. “As a hunter I think we have a good obligation to put something back.” (Photo by Steve Droter/Chesapeake Bay Program)
