Roger d’Eschambault is canoeing for conservation

Exploring the birthplace of wetland conservation

A special stop on Roger’s journey will be Big Grass Marsh, near Gladstone, Manitoba. It’s the site of our first-ever wetland restoration project built in 1938 and considered the birthplace of wetland conservation in North America. Over the course of his expedition, he’ll travel to other points throughout the Lake Winnipeg watershed visiting iconic projects and other dedicated people along the way.

Wetland conservation matters now

Roger, along with thousands of Ducks Unlimited Canada supporters and conservationists across the country, is an advocate and steward of water in all its forms. And in the early fall, when Canadians are enjoying the lakes and rivers that are the backdrop to our favourite memories, Roger will be using his trip to remind all Canadians why protecting wetlands now will reap benefits well into the future.

The strength and support of Team DUC will be with Roger with every stroke of the paddle during his personal quest…in the heart of the Prairies…and at the heart of North American conservation.
