How can we celebrate World Wetlands Day?

Wetlands play a significant role in the health of our ecosystems. Every day, wetlands and associated habitats are being degraded and destroyed across the continent. In order to reverse this trend, we ALL need to do our part. Help promote awareness of the importance of wetlands and their impact on our lives and the planet. Find and reach out to your local Duck’s Unlimited chapter and see how you can leave your mark.

You can also show your support by donating to DU’s conservation efforts. Every acre conserved, every wetland restored, and every habitat protected, is made possible by your support.
