The Story of Ducks Unlimited (circa 1953)

Narrated by Jack Berch, an American baritone singer best known for his radio variety/talk programs, The Story of Ducks Unlimited focuses on the long-range program of Ducks Unlimited in Canada.

By this time in the 1950s, 400 Ducks Unlimited Canada projects (also known as “Duck Factories”) were spread across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. We’re given a glimpse into the different ways Ducks Unlimited Canada conducted its conservation work, such as constructing berms and dams with modern machinery, doing controlled burns, waterfowl banding and aerial surveys. Even in black-and-white, the beauty of prairie wetlands and skies filled with waterfowl is awe-inspiring.
