Who will our next Wetland Heroes be?
It might be you! Check back in December to see the profiles of some our new Wetland Heroes and to get ideas for your own project.
Become a Wetland Hero just like...
- Grade 3 students in BC who wrote letters which encouraged politicians to create a new bird nesting area and increase protection for a wetland near a new subdivision.
- Grade 4 students who wrote their Minister of Conservation asking him to safeguard all of Manitoba’s wetlands by enacting a new wetland policy.
- The winner of a school poster contest who met with the Saskatchewan premier to discuss ways to improve protection for wetlands and wildlife.
- The teenagers in Newfoundland and Quebec who raised funds for Ducks Unlimited’s conservation work in their provinces.
- The thousands of secondary school students at DUC-recognized Wetland Centres of Excellence who have cleaned up and even created wetlands, installed nest boxes, built boardwalks, banded and studied birds, and shared their enthusiasm and knowledge with younger students as peer teachers.
These are only a few of the many wonderful young people from across Canada who are undertaking action projects and playing an important role in protecting wetlands for wildlife and people in their local community.
Whether you are one person, a group of friends, a class, club or school, we would like to recognize your efforts. Tell us about your activities and let us acknowledge you as one of Canada’s Wetland Heroes.
