It’s been 85 years since Ducks Unlimited Canada

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

Founded by volunteers in 1938, DUC remains a passionate community of people who believe that nature is the foundation of strong communities, a prosperous economy and a sustainable future that supports the hopes and dreams of the next generation. Together, we conserve and restore some of the most valuable and threatened landscapes on the planet. 🌎🌱💧

With your support, we pursue research that looks at new ways to positively affect our environment. On this Canadian Environment Week, visit our website at the link in our bio to learn more about where we are making an impact!

This week marks Canadian Environment Week! 🌎

At Ducks Unlimited Canada, our vision is clean water and healthy wetlands for all waterfowl, wildlife and people—and the habitat we protect has a lasting and positive impact on our environment. 💧🌱

The wetlands we conserve and restore are proven to keep harmful nutrients from entering our lakes and water resources—reducing the risk of blue-green algae, which can make people, pets and wildlife sick.

The good news is, by being informed you can help make change for the better. Sign up for updates on our work to heal sick lakes and safeguard our environment using nature at the link in our bio! ✅

This week marks Canadian Environment Week, and today marks World Environment Day! 🌎

Did you know that wetlands are a biological resource similar to that of rainforests and coral reefs? Wetlands are also powerful carbon sinks, making them one of the greatest tools in the fight against climate change!

Since 1938 we’ve completed more than 11,826 projects and conserved, restored and positively influenced more than 201.8 million acres of habitat. Our work has shown that nature can rebound when given the chance. 🌱

Ducks Unlimited Canada 85th Anniversary Series ⭐

Ducks Unlimited Canada 85th Anniversary Series ⭐ Famous Firsts ⭐

Ducks Unlimited Canada was founded by volunteers in 1938, to conserve and restore critical waterfowl habitat, located mainly in the Prairie provinces. In 1950, DUC funded its first project at Fullerton Marsh on Prince Edward Island.

The province approached DUC to help convert the marsh, where a previous rail line ran. In 1980, DUC took on the sole management of the site—where it was managed as a freshwater marsh until 2020—when it was successfully restored to a saltwater marsh with the removal of the original water control structure.

The @atlanticducks team has conserved 14,977 acres, partnered with 591 landowners and worked on 392 habitat projects in the province. 🦆

Spending some time at the lake this weekend? 🦆⛱️

We don't blame you! Canada’s lakes are a wonderland for anyone who loves being outdoors. They’re the backdrop to some of our best memories and future adventures!

Help ensure your favourite lake remains a fun place to enjoy, free from harmful blue-green algae, by supporting wetland conservation! 💧🌱

As we reflect on 85 years of Ducks Unlimited Canad

As we reflect on 85 years of Ducks Unlimited Canada, it's clear that our strength comes from working together. We partner with all who care about the landscape to help deliver our mission—and some of the people we work closely with are landowners.

In Alberta, we've partnered with lifelong rancher Gordon Marsh, to conserve thousands of acres of important grasslands. 🌱

When Gordon made the decision to retire, he knew there wasn’t much untouched land left in the province. As a long-time fixture within the ranching community of southwestern Alberta, it was important for him to preserve his land for future generations of ranchers. For the full story, visit the link in our bio!

Today marks World Peatlands Day, recognized on Jun

Today marks World Peatlands Day, recognized on June 2nd each year.

Peatlands are wetland ecosystems that are found throughout Canada’s boreal region. 🌲 They are characterized by deep, decaying vegetation deposits, or peat, built up below the ground surface. These deposits can be thousands of years old and are particularly good at holding water! 💧🌱 For this reason, peatlands can help mitigate the impacts of wildfires.

Healing nature, with nature! 💧🌱🌎 At Duck

Healing nature, with nature! 💧🌱🌎

At Ducks Unlimited Canada, science guides our mission, and brings conservation to life. Across the country, having a safe and reliable water supply is often taken for granted—but now, the science shows that Canada's lakes are sick, and we must take action to protect them.

The science also shows that nature is one of the most powerful preventative measures for chronic issues plaguing our water—through the power of wetlands. To learn more, visit the link in our bio.

We have big news! 🦆📢

Did you know that since DUC was founded in 1938, we've embraced a scientific approach to conservation? Since, our application of science has expanded to ensure our conservation actions continue to sustain waterfowl populations—while also benefitting other wildlife and people.

Our Institute for Wetland and Waterfowl Research has recently published new information—that includes decades of research—that looks at everything you need to know about waterfowl distribution and productivity in the Prairie Pothole Region, often referred to as the "duck factory."
