At the beginning of spring, we asked you to get active outdoors with conservation and community science, by participating in our #DUCMigrationTracker project on @inaturalistorg. ☀️

All observations—whether logged from your backyard, the park, path, trail, or a wetland—are valuable contributions that will be used to help inform our wetland conservation efforts. But you may be wondering, how?

The answer is through our Institute for Wetland and Waterfowl Research—where our team of scientists are working each day on world-class research to bring conservation to life. 🦆 To learn more, visit our website at the link in our bio.

Ducks Unlimited Canada 85th Anniversary Series ⭐

Ducks Unlimited Canada 85th Anniversary Series ⭐ Famous Firsts ⭐

Ducks Unlimited Canada was founded by volunteers in 1938, to conserve and restore critical waterfowl habitat. Since, DUC has grown to become Canada's leader in wetland conservation.

Connecting Canadians with the benefits of conservation is integral to the delivery of our mission. On May 1st, 1993, DUC and the Province of Manitoba opened the Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre. Now operating as The Harry J. Enns Wetland Discovery Centre—and the current site of DUC’s head office—it is one of North America’s birding hotspots, and an award-winning educational tourism destination.

Now versus ➡️ then!

The second image featured in this post is taken from our archives, and depicts Ducks Unlimited Canada staff and volunteers participating in a "duckling round-up" near Many Island Lake, Alberta, in 1938. Drought and habitat loss was significantly affecting waterfowl populations at the time, and these ducklings were relocated to nearby marshes and lakes that had permanent water.

Thanks to your support, since 1938, we’ve completed more than 11,826 projects and conserved, restored and positively influenced more than 201.8 million acres of habitat. When we work together, we are unlimited in what we can accomplish! 🐣🦆

Imagine your perfect summer day...does it look something like this? ☀️🛶

As beautiful as this scene is, Canada’s lakes are in trouble. Some are already sick, and they can make us sick too. If we do nothing, the problem will keep spreading—maybe to your own favourite lake.

But the good news is, it’s easy to make a difference! The future health of our lakes requires all of us to appreciate the importance of wetlands. By signing up for our newsletter to stay informed and support conservation, you can make a difference! Sign up today at the link in our bio!

Privacy please! 🦆

As the end of spring draws near, many of our favourite migratory bird species have returned to their northern ranges, and have started to nest. 🐣 We often get asked questions like, what should you do if you encounter a nest, or should you avoid certain natural spaces, due to nesting birds?

Whether you enjoy watching nesting birds or logging your bird observations in community science projects, giving birds their space is important! It gives them a better chance to feel comfortable, gives you a better chance to watch them behaving naturally, and reduces risks associated with avian flu.

As long as you are observing your favourite bird species from a respectful distance, we encourage you to continue enjoying wildlife and the outdoors! ☀️

A common goldeneye started laying her eggs in a nest box near our @atlanticducks Fredericton office on April 27th, and we're getting close to a possible hatch date! 🐣

➡️ Can you guess when her ducklings will begin to hatch? To submit your guess, head to the link in our bio! When you do, you'll be entered to win a DUC Gear™ YETI water bottle!

You can also take a peak inside the nest, with our nest box cameras—and remember, if you encounter a nesting bird while outdoors, enjoy from a distance! 🦆

Ducks Unlimited Canada 85th Anniversary Series ⭐ Famous Firsts ⭐

Ducks Unlimited Canada was founded in 1938, and our mission is to conserve, restore and manage wetlands and associated habitats for the benefit of North America’s waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people.

Connecting Canadians with the benefits of conservation is integral to the delivery of our mission—and part of our approach is connecting Canadians to the natural world through our Conservator magazine—first published in the winter of 1980. 🦆 Filled with beautiful photography and incredible stories from Canada’s wetlands, it's a fun and informative way to stay updated on our important conservation work.
