About Ducks UnlimitedThe idea for Ducks Unlimited was born by the winds that created the Dust Bowl. Untold acres of wetland habitat vanished in the 1930's, taking with them the promise of generations of waterfowl. In 1937, a small group of conservationists who realized that the majority of North America's waterfowl bred in the Canadian prairies, organized to raise money in the United States for waterfowl conservation in Canada. It was that unique idea that became Ducks Unlimited®. For over six decades, Ducks Unlimited (DU) has maintained a singleness of purpose that has guided the organization to become the leading waterfowl and wetland conservation entity in North America. Dynamic and responsive leadership by staff and volunteers has assured that DU's work evolved in response to the ever-changing pressures on waterfowl and the habitat upon which they depend throughout their annual cycle. To date, DU's volunteers have raised $2.3 billion dollars and the organization has conserved nearly 12 million acres of habitat- one of the greatest conservation achievements in history.
