DU Volunteer Spotlights
When you volunteer with Ducks Unlimited, you join a family of conservationists. We come from all walks of life, but have one thing in common: a commitment to conservation.
Our reasons for that commitment may vary. Many of us want to preserve our hunting heritage. Others want to see full skies of waterfowl for generations to come. Still others want to conserve the wetlands and special places they’ve grown to love. No matter why you volunteer with Ducks Unlimited, we’re glad to have you on board.
Let us introduce you to a few other dedicated DU volunteers.

“I feel blessed to be able to introduce my children to the outdoors, to hunting and fishing and conservation. I remember my first duck hunt with my father, and I want to give that experience to my children, too. I want duck hunting not just to survive as a sport, but to grow in popularity. For that to happen, we’ve got to have habitat for the ducks - and we’re losing habitat daily.
No organization works harder than DU to preserve the habitat for the ducks and the sport for the hunters.” |

“DU is certainly one of the greatest organizations I have ever been involved with. I’ve met great people, great friends and great clients through my volunteering for DU. I have enjoyed getting young people, including my children, involved in Greenwings, waterfowling and being able to share with them the importance of protecting and conserving our wetlands and natural resources. Being able to share time afield with my children and sharing those experiences of a hunt are memories that will last a lifetime.
Sharing DU, explaining our mission and how passionate we as volunteers are about fulfilling DU’s never-ending mission, and knowing that our efforts and the work we do as volunteers will leave a legacy for future generations to enjoy brings me great pride.”

“I love waterfowl and waterfowl hunting! My first experience was on opening day in 1977, when as a college kid I skipped classes and strode into a swamp in a pair of borrowed leaky waders. It was the best day of classes that I ever missed because I haven't been the same since. Duck fever hit me hard as I went out and bought a dozen mallard decoys and a call that same night.
Today I am fortunate to have a family that appreciates my passion for waterfowl hunting, wetlands conservation, and my commitment to DU. My wife and I are Grand Slam Lifers with over 30 years of DU volunteerism between us. I believe whole-heartedly in DU's vision: wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever. I just wish I still had those old waders to be buried in someday.” |
