Ducks Unlimited Canada - Atlantic

Ducks Unlimited Canada celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day, a moment to be reminded of the year-round efforts we all should take to learn more about and honour the many rich histories, traditions and cultures of this land’s Indigenous communities. #NIHM2024 #NIPD2024

Sea level rise is a real threat to our coasts—but #WetlandConservation can help! Today on #WorldOceansDay, we'd like to highlight that coastal wetlands and salt marshes defend against sea-level rise, reduce storm damage, provide cleaner water, and protect wildlife.

June 2-8 marks Canadian #EnviroWeek. This year's theme focuses on land restoration and drought resilience. At DUC, we're proud to be a leader in Canadian #habitat #conservation—and we know that #restoration is the key to nature’s recovery, and focusing on #wetlands is critical.

In recognition of #WorldPeatlandsDay and the vital role of #boreal peatlands as large terrestrial global #CarbonStores, the #NAWMP program partners invite you to learn more about carbon and peatlands in Canada. 👇 loom.ly/4vlKEDw

Looking for ways to enjoy the outdoors as the weather warms and flora blooms? We invite you to visit a local wetland—they’re beautiful places to explore, relax and connect with the outdoors. Discover wetland destinations near you at: loom.ly/BEvBgWQ

Today marks #EndangeredSpecies Day. Canada’s wetlands are home to 551 wildlife species, and many more plant species—many of which are listed as #SpeciesAtRisk. Below are a few ways that you can help make a difference to support them. 👇

Today marks the beginning of National Invasive Species Action Week (#NISAW). To learn how you can help keep habitat healthy for native plants, birds and animals, check out @CanadaInvasives.

With the most recent weather system that has hit our region- wetlands are working overtime to filter sediment and road salt. Our Manager of Atlantic Operations, Adam Campbell, chats with @JonnaBrewerCBC about a project with @CityofMoncton. @ducanada cbc.ca/player/play/23…

After last weekend's winter blast to our region- it's a good chance to break out those snowshoes and explore some of our local wetland sites!

Ever notice a large flock of waterfowl in the winter? Do all ducks migrate? How do they keep warm in the winter? A recent video from @JonnaBrewerCBC sparked some of these questions. Join Jonna and DUC Research Scientist, Matt Dyson to answer some of these! cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Thanks to Alain Clavette for joining DUC's Biologist and Plant Ecologist, Dr. Holly Abbandonato for a walk along the Memramcook River in celebration of World Wetlands Day! Have a listen: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra… @ducanada

The Wildlife Park will be closed this weekend (Feb 3rd & 4th) due to the forecasted weather. Our World Wetlands Day festivities will be postponed until next weekend. Enjoy the snow while it lasts 😉🌷#ShubenacadieWildlifePark #ShubenacadieSam

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay! ⁠ ⁠ To celebrate, we teamed up with Ducks Unlimited Canada to create a Wetlands Toolkit with resources, educational materials and frequently asked questions about wetlands and wetland conservation. ⁠ ⁠ 👉️ #wetlands-toolkit-" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ecologyaction.ca/our-work/coast… @ducanada

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay—recognized every February 2 to shine a spotlight on these vital ecosystems. #Wetlands offer a myriad of environmental benefits and they provide a place for us to connect with nature for improved health and well-being. Visit ➡️ ducks.ca/about/media-ce…

Today is #WorldWetlandsDay - and the theme is wetlands and human well-being. In the op-ed piece below, Shawn Graham, secretary of DUC's board of directors, discusses the reasons why when we invest in nature, we're investing in our well-being too. tj-news.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/tj.news/ne…

Thanks @CTVMorningAtl for the interview! @ducanada

#WorldWetlandsDay is coming up! We’re celebrating all weekend long at the Wetland Centre, Shubenacadie Wildlife Park! Join us and @ShubenacadieSam for a weekend of family fun including pop-up interpretation, wetland and more! @ducanada

Here’s a glimpse into a small marsh construction project we completed on a dairy farm in Memramcook, NB. The area was originally a wet and unproductive field. After berming and excavation there is now a small wetland in its place. It didn’t take long for wildlife to move in!

We’re very thankful to have Triina on our team! @CorpsNL!
