This is an excellent example of how DU can partner with USFWS to make management infrastructure at critical waterfowl refuges more resilient to storms, extreme flooding and changes in climate. DU engineering staff worked with refuge staff from throughout the project, developing and implementing a plan to improve the management capabilities of the impoundments with the Savannah NWR Complex.

“The Resilient Carolina Wetlands & Rivers IV NAWCA grant provides important funding to protect and enhance important habitats linked across the Carolinas, benefitting waterfowl and migratory birds while enhancing and expanding public access opportunities on national forests, state parks, and future game lands,” said DU director of conservation programs for South Atlantic, Emily Purcell.

“Thanks to donations, the youth and adult guides were able to hunt and enjoy a pancake breakfast and snacks during the hunt, and everyone left with a DU swag pack,” said South Carolina DU State Chairman Alex Mozingo. “Upon arriving at the site, hunters were given a safety talk. Each pair drew for their hunting blind, and then it was time to hunt. Youth were paired with an experienced hunter, often a parent, in the blind. It was an amazing opportunity for both experienced youth and youth new to waterfowling to come out and hunt birds that had not been pressured, learn about conservation, and how important it is to respect wildlife and provide quality habitat for them.”

South Carolina's Ducks

The Prairie Pothole Region, Great Lakes Region and St. Lawrence Plain are critical to South Carolina waterfowl hunters.

A significant portion of South Carolina's annual duck harvest migrates to us from the Prairie Pothole Region, also referred to as "the duck factory." The majority of our Mallards originate in the Great Lakes Region and St. Lawrence Plain.

The Prairie Pothole Region, Great Lakes Region, and St. Lawrence Plain are all DU conservation focus areas. In addition, South Carolina benefits from DU's Southeastern Coastal Plain conservation work as the organization continues to conserve critical waterfowl habitat in the Palmetto State.

There is no waterfowl conservation organization that represents the needs of South Carolina waterfowl hunters like Ducks Unlimited.

Our critical conservation work provides support to our migration both on the breeding grounds and here at home.

With your help, we will preserve our waterfowl hunting heritage through habitat conservation of these areas vital to the South Carolina migration and harvest.
