BISMARCK, ND- Ducks Unlimited has a new regional director for North Dakota. Forrest Gross will begin managing all grassroots fundraising efforts in the state on Aug. 1, working with a team of volunteer leaders to host more than 50 DU events across North Dakota.
Forrest comes to Ducks Unlimited with a passion for waterfowl, having grown up duck hunting and attending DU events with his father in Illinois. His desire to secure the future of waterfowling for future generations has led him to be an active participant in conservation-related activities in Illinois and play a key role with one of DU’s top university chapters.
DU’s volunteer-hosted fundraising events in North Dakota broke all records this past year, raising more than $700,000 in support of DU’s habitat conservation programs.
