Ducks Unlimited Canada celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day, a moment to be reminded of the year-round efforts we all should take to learn more about and honour the many rich histories, traditions and cultures of this land’s Indigenous communities. #NIHM2024 #NIPD2024

Sea level rise is a real threat to our coasts—but #WetlandConservation can help! Today on #WorldOceansDay, we'd like to highlight that coastal wetlands and salt marshes defend against sea-level rise, reduce storm damage, provide cleaner water, and protect wildlife.

June 2-8 marks Canadian #EnviroWeek. This year's theme focuses on land restoration and drought resilience. At DUC, we're proud to be a leader in Canadian #habitat #conservation—and we know that #restoration is the key to nature’s recovery, and focusing on #wetlands is critical.

Ever notice a large flock of waterfowl in the winter? Do all ducks migrate? How do they keep warm in the winter? A recent video from @JonnaBrewerCBC sparked some of these questions. Join Jonna and DUC Research Scientist, Matt Dyson to answer some of these! https://t.co/sQdlE7abRl

Here’s a glimpse into a small marsh construction project we completed on a dairy farm in Memramcook, NB. The area was originally a wet and unproductive field. After berming and excavation there is now a small wetland in its place. It didn’t take long for wildlife to move in!
