Ducks Unlimited (DI) conserves, restores, and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people. The University of Missouri Ducks Unlimited Chapter is one of 5,300 other chapters within the United States that raise funds to help protect our wetlands.
Why are wetlands so important? Not only do wetlands provide habitat for waterfowl, amphibians, fish, reptiles, and terrestrial mammals, they provide areas for excess water from flooding, recharge our aquifers for drinking water, and filter sediment & waste before entering our rivers. Recreational benefits from wetlands include kayaking, hunting, photography, fishing, and hiking. Join Mizzou Ducks Unlimited today for your chance to make a positive impact on the environment. Contact ejgx8c@mail.missouri.edu or cjmr53@mail.missouri.edu to join the University of Missouri chapter. Or find a local chapter at your university.
Let us know if you would like your conservation club or organization highlighted in the MCCA newsletter.
