About Us

Proud stewards of Canada’s wetlands since 1938

Unlimited Together

It’s been 85 years since DUC established our first wetland restoration project in Canada.

Since our humble beginnings, our work has come to be recognized for the significant value it provides to people and communities today, as nature-based solutions to floods, droughts, water pollution and the impacts of climate change. Our strength comes from working together and partnering with all who care about the landscape to help deliver our mission.

Throughout our 85th anniversary year, you can help us celebrate the places, people and partners that show we are unlimited in what we can accomplish, together.
