Grand Forks, N.D. (AP) Ducks Unlimited wants to buy 160 acres of private land in eastern North Dakota for a wetland restoration project. The hunting and conservation group has slated a meeting on the sale on Monday and plans to make a recommendation to Gov. Jack Dalrymple. The parcel is located about five miles southwest of Grand Forks. Supporters say the goal is to mitigate the impact of land associated with a flood-control project. The number of nonprofit groups allowed to buy land in North Dakota is limited under state law. The law also requires government approval for land purchases, with the governor having the final nod. State officials say the law was put in place in 1932 to protect the state's Agrarian heritage.
