How our work impacts conservation across Canada.
Impact Areas
Approaches
Where we’re working on the ground from coast to coast.
We need your help to protect our water, wildlife, and wetlands. Here’s how you can make an impact.
Landowners
Wetland and Estuary Acquisition
Acquiring lands that provide valuable staging or breeding habitat.
Agricultural Land Acquisition
Acquiring lands that provide valuable foraging habitat for overwintering waterfowl.
Range Enhancement Incentive Program
Working with landowners, producers and range tenure holders to conserve habitat
Wetland Restoration Lease Program
The restored area remains under the management of the landowner and can be hayed or grazed but not drained, altered or tilled during the term of the agreement. Landowners receive compensation from DUC for this restriction which could be used by farmers to support new land purchases. The lease program is a very good fit for cattle producers who have drained wetlands on grazing lands.
Nest Box Maintenance Program
Installing nest boxes in or around wetlands gives cavity nesters a helping hand.
Wetland Care Guide
This resource booklet gives you inspiring examples and step-by-step ideas on activities to take action.
