Ducks Unlimited conserves habitat at the continental scale to meet the lifecycle needs of North America's waterfowl. Wisconsin is part of the Mississippi Flyway, providing important migration, breeding and wintering areas for many of the continent's waterfowl such as wood ducks, mallards, blue-winged teal and Canada geese.
Working with a variety of partners, DU's Wisconsin conservation program has restored and enhanced 134,000 acres of wetlands and adjacent habitat. Wisconsin's conservation projects are designed to maximize the amount and quality of waterfowl nesting habitat, as well as improve habitat conditions for migrating waterfowl.
