What is Ducks Unlimited doing about it?
DU is the ONLY waterfowl conservation organization committed, and delivering on that commitment, to protecting and restoring the habitats that waterfowl require throughout their range. If those habitats continue to disappear, so too will the ducks, and eventually the hunting that is so dear to so many of us. Last year, DU protected and restored over 490,000 acres of the most important waterfowl habitat on the continent! Once protected, the breeding habitats financed by DU’s members’ dollars will produce ducks year in, year out. Over our 66 years, DU and our many partners have conserved almost 11 million acres. Since work here in Texas began in 1985, over $14,206,000 has been used to help conserve over 163,000 acres in the state for waterfowl and hunters! DU maintains a field office in Richmond, Texas and is committed to continuing its work here far into the future. And, because of DU’s efficiency, history, and commitment to waterfowl habitat protection, your dollars are matched by fede
