Making Wetland and Environmental Education Possible

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) educates Canada's young people about the values of wetland habitats and encourages them to take action to protect these important natural areas. DUC's education programs are some of the most effective ways to help students learn about wetlands, wildlife and the environment.

Project Webfoot, our Wetland Centres of Excellence, and our many on-line learning resources, including our award-winning Wetlands and the World resources, would not be possible without the many corporations, foundations and individuals across Canada who generously support wetland and environmental education for students in their communities by sponsoring classes.
