Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is more than the sum of our mission to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for the benefit of North America’s waterfowl, wildlife and people. Our exceptional people and decades of applied research has a collective, positive impact on the landscapes and for communities.
Our annual report offers a glimpse into the work we’ve undertaken during the recent past. It shares information and stories about the achievements and partnerships that define our mission and success. And, hopefully, it serves to inspire and inform what’s next for DUC.
