of glacial origin dotted with numerous wetland depressions. Wetland densities
in the area have the potential to attract 60 to 80 breeding duck pairs
per square mile. Known for its productivity, the Coteau is considered
the "best of the best"; of the remaining waterfowl breeding
habitat in the northern Great Plains.

Ducks Unlimited is selling a 164.7 acre tract of wetland and grassland habitat in Phelps County, Nebraska. The property is located two miles east of Holdrege, Nebraska, with easy access from the “Polyline Highway” and local gravel roads. The former cropland on the property was planted to native grasses and forbs in May 2008. While still only in the second growing season since being planted, the native grasses and forbs are quickly establishing very nice upland habitat on the site. A large 52 acre seasonal wetland is located on the property, providing excellent wildlife habitat and opportunities for waterfowl hunting.
