Neu Wildlife Management Area, ND

In 2004 the Fund brought together a diverse group of conservation partners to acquire and protect more than 950 acres at the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers. Explored during the historic journey of Lewis and Clark, the Neu Wildlife Management Area supports one of the most important U.S. populations of paddlefish, named for the distinctive shape of their snouts. Project partners included the American Foundation for Wildlife, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, North Dakota Natural Resources Trust, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
