Thank you, and thanks again to our witnesses for joining us today and contributing to this important discussion.
One of our previous witnesses was talking about.... This applies, I think, to Mr. Bradbeer's remarks. We talked a lot about connectivity, connecting ecosystems. And I heard him talk about matrices between preserved and conserved areas. I think your work with farmlands in the Delta region is particularly interesting in addressing some of those concerns. You talked about the many migratory birds and so on, that come through the Delta area and about what a rich area that is.
As you've been engaging farm communities with habitat improvement, as we're seeing some of that.... How many years have you been working on this? Are we seeing dividends already in terms of increased wildlife use in those areas where you have seen some positive changes?
