At Ducks Unlimited Canada, our work focuses on nat

At Ducks Unlimited Canada, our work focuses on nature-based solutions to floods, droughts, water pollution and the impacts of climate change, for the benefit of all waterfowl, wildlife and people. 🦆

Our planet will always have water, but if we don’t take care of it, it won’t always be safe. Clean water starts with healthy wetlands—and we’ve been leading the way in wetland conservation and research for more than 80 years.

As noted by DUC President, Roger d'Eschambault, “The best tool in our fight to save nature is nature itself." Learn more about what can be done to safeguard our water resources at the link in our bio! 💧

Today marks World Water Day—and because water affects us all, we feel it's important to talk about what we can all do to safeguard our water.

In Canada, we're fortunate to have an abundance of natural spaces to enjoy and species to connect with—which includes our freshwater resources. 🛶🦆 We're used to a safe and reliable water supply, but chronic issues are plaguing our water and making our lakes sick. We can no longer take it for granted.

If we value our water resources, our work to save them begins with healthy wetlands. By working together to promote wetland conservation, we can save our water. 🌊

Today marks the International Day of Forests and the theme this year focuses on healthy forests for healthy people—which we think is the perfect opportunity to highlight the boreal forest and how we all benefit from it and its network of wetlands!

So many aspects of our lives are linked to forests, but we often don't make the connection—like our health, clean water and fresh air, medicine, food and shelter.

Few wild places remain on Earth like Canada’s boreal forest—a 1.3 billion-acre landscape defined by water and wildlife. It's home to over 600 Indigenous communities, buffers against the impacts of climate change, provides essential habitat to wildlife and supports the wellbeing of all people.

Sunshine glitters from the waters of the nearby wetland. A prairie breeze carries the scent of native plants and warm soil. A row of recently hatched goslings wanders by, led by their ever-vigilant parents. Songbirds twitter from distant cattail stands. Welcome to Oak Hammock Marsh. ☀️🌾🦆

As we reflect on 85 years of Ducks Unlimited Canada, we have many stories we'd like to share with you—and the story of Oak Hammock Marsh is a special one. It's home to our national head office, but most importantly, @oakhammockmarsh is a designated Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, the site of an Important Bird Area and home to the Harry J. Enns Wetlands Discovery Centre.

To learn more about the significance of Oak Hammock Marsh, visit the link in our bio to read the full story.

Spring is almost here, which means the skies will soon be filled with birds migrating back to their northern ranges—including the western boreal forest. 🌲

The boreal forest is a 1.3 billion-acre landscape defined by water and wildlife that stretches across Canada from Newfoundland and Labrador to Yukon. It is one of the most important waterfowl conservation regions in North America—providing essential habitat for over 300 species of birds, as well as thousands of other species of native plants and wildlife. 🦆

Spring is near, which means our favourite migratory bird species have begun to stretch their wings and get ready for the journey back to their northern ranges—like the Prairie Pothole Region. 🌾🦆

The Prairie Pothole Region consists of some of the best waterfowl breeding grounds in the world. In Canada, the region spans southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It also extends into North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and Montana in the United States.

Not only does the Prairie Pothole Region provide essential habitat for waterfowl, but it also serves as habitat for hundreds of other species—including songbirds and shorebirds, and more than 50 species at-risk.

Did you know that Canada contains the two most important waterfowl conservation regions in North America?

➡️ The Prairie Pothole Region and the Western Boreal Forest.

Along with four other priority areas in Canada, they support approximately 70% of North America’s breeding ducks. 🦆

With spring less than a week away, we look forward to spotting our favourite waterfowl species, as they migrate back to these important breeding grounds.

Did you hear that? 🦆

Spring is officially less than a week away—and with the new season comes the sights and sounds of bird migration!

To celebrate, join us on March 20th as we present Nature’s Incredible Journeys—a free one-hour webinar celebrating the incredible world of bird migration, conservation and community science. These topics will be covered by experts from @oakhammockmarsh, @birds.canada, @inaturalistorg, @cwf_fcf and DUC's Institute for Wetland and Waterfowl Research.

If you enjoy learning about birds and wildlife, participating in community science and having fun outdoors, this webinar is for you! Sign up at the link in our bio!

When we work together to protect nature, good things happen. Our water becomes cleaner, wildlife populations grow stronger, we become healthier and our communities prosper.

As proud stewards of Canada's wetlands since 1938, we believe our strength comes from working together and partnering with all who care about the landscape to help deliver our mission. If you care about the outdoors, wildlife and the environment, visit our website to learn how you can get involved.

When we work together, we are unlimited in what we can accomplish. 🦆
