Ducks Unlimited Canada’s Youth Conservation Network Programs, including the Youth Advisory Council and the Ducks Unlimited Canada Campus Clubs, are supported in part by Wildlife Habitat Canada. Wildlife Habitat Canada is a non-profit, conservation organization that conserves habitat, primarily by investing the funds from the sale of the Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp and Print program, contributed by waterfowl hunters. Since 1985, we have provided over $62 million in grants to more than 1,600 habitat conservation projects across Canada, which have helped safeguard important ecosystems and countless wild species.
