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.
