DUC – Wetland and Wildlife Conservation in Nova Scotia 
Nova Scotia’s wetlands provide habitat for hundreds of species of waterfowl and many other wildlife species. These species use wetlands for food, water, breeding and nesting grounds, resting areas and shelters. Beyond providing vital habitat, wetlands also provide numerous other benefits such as acting as a water filter, reducing flooding and providing a great place for recreational activities like hiking, canoeing and wildlife watching.
Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is working with government, industry, private landowners and other conservation organizations to ensure wetland habitats remain a part of Nova Scotia’s landscape, ensuring a healthy future for waterfowl, wildlife and a fresh clean water supply for people.

Nova Scotia libraries first recipients of popular wetland educational resources
For the first time in Canada, DUC is providing popular environmental educational resources to public libraries. Public libraries in Northeastern Nova Scotia – branches of the Eastern Counties Regional Library and the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library – will be receiving sets of materials from the Project Webfoot program offered by DUC.
Partnership helping DUC make conservation strides in Atlantic Canada
DUC is making important progress to protect and conserve provincially-significant wetlands across Atlantic Canada, thanks to the Atlantic Habitat Partnership Initiative (AHPI). To date, DUC has invested over one million dollars in wetland conservation projects impacting nearly 49,000 hectares in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and in Newfoundland and Labrador.
