Ducks Unlimited Canada

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is a Canadian non-profit environmental organization dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and management of wetlands and associated habitats across North America. Established in 1938, its mission is to ensure healthy ecosystems that benefit waterfowl, other wildlife, and people, with a vision for clean water and healthy wetlands for all. The organization's national headquarters is located at Oak Hammock Marsh near Stonewall, Manitoba.

DUC delivers its conservation goals through a range of programs and services, including on-the-ground habitat projects, scientific research conducted by its Institute for Wetland and Waterfowl Research, education initiatives, and public policy advocacy. The organization also provides sustainable solutions for businesses, offering expertise in wetland restoration, habitat management consultations, and climate solutions. Key market segments include collaborations with industry leaders, government agencies, landowners, Indigenous communities, municipalities, farmers, and ranchers.

Michael Nadler was appointed CEO of Ducks Unlimited Canada in February 2023. The organization continues to be a prominent force in Canadian conservation, evidenced by recent partnerships such as the February 2026 collaboration with Loblaw Companies Limited to advance sustainable agriculture. In March 2026, DUC boosted on-farm research in Manitoba by providing land for a research and demonstration center. Ducks Unlimited Canada is recognized as a leading science-based conservation organization and a key delivery agent for restoration and conservation programs across Canada.
