Home 2008 Great Greenwing Adventure Winners 
Ducks Unlimited Canada is proud to announce the 2008 Great Greenwing Adventurers. These twelve deserving teens, from across Canada, with two exchange students coming from the United States, travelled to Oak Hammock Marsh in Manitoba, August 2008, to participate in the Great Greenwing Adventure.
Under the guidance of scientists and interpreters, the adventurers took part in exciting, hands-on activities such as bird and duck banding, radio telemetry, fishing, camping and much more. It was a week packed with fun, learning and adventure!
