Ducks Unlimited conserves habitat at the continental scale to meet the lifecycle needs of North America's waterfowl. Connecticut is part of the Atlantic Flyway, providing important migration, breeding and wintering areas for many of the continent's waterfowl such as American black ducks, greater scaup, brant and Canada geese.
Connecticut's conservation projects are designed to maximize the amount and quality of migration, breeding and wintering waterfowl habitats as well as improve conditions for waterfowl production.
