What we do

Our Work

Canada's leader in wetland habitat conservation, restoration and management.

We conserve, restore and manage wetlands and grasslands to benefit waterfowl, wildlife and people. Our goal is to ensure abundant wetlands and waterfowl for generations to come while improving Canadian lives. Waterfowl are migratory. That’s why our conservation efforts impact diverse areas across the entire country—including your community.

Impact Areas

Our Approach

Since 1938, we’ve completed more than 11,826 projects and conserved, restored and positively influenced more than 201.8 million acres of habitat. Despite our progress, wetlands continue to be lost at an alarming rate. Conserving wetlands and other natural habitats across North America is a challenge. That’s why we bring together a number of approaches to get it done efficiently and effectively.
