Pray, Roberts are Legacy
Greenwing Members of DU
Hailey Pray, daughter of Jessica Benda and Kevin Pray, Ferney, and Laila Roberts, daughter of Lisa Pray and Jason Roberts, Groton, are Legacy Greenwing Members of Ducks Unlimited who attended the Madison Wetland Management District dedication held June 24 at Lake Madison. A Legacy Greenwing member is a youth member of Ducks Unlimited who has contributed $200 to the organization. Ducks Unlimited recognized and honored Legacy Greenwing members who helped fund the restoration and protection of waterfowl habitat in South Dakota as part of the Ducks Unlimited “Rescue our Wetlands” campaign between 2014 and 2017. During this time DU and US Fish and Wildlife Service worked together to restore and protect over 75,000 acres of waterfowl habitat in South Dakota. Victoria and Catherine Donovan are also Legacy Greenwing Members. They are the daughters of Steve and Yvette Donovan. Steve is a Groton High School alumni and the South Dakota Manager of Conservation Programs for Ducks Unlimited. The Donovans live in Arlington.
