Geocache Description:

A nice large container in an interesting location. Especially viewed from the air...

In 1937, a group of conservation-minded sportsmen set out to contend with the destruction and neglect. They initiated habitat conservation projects in Canada—where 70 per cent of North America’s waterfowl originate—by raising funds in the United States. They called their effort Ducks Unlimited.

DUC was formed in 1938 to continue the conservation effort in Canada. More than 70 years later, DUC has grown and increased Canadian support and funding for wetland conservation.

DUC is still actively conserving wetlands in Canada. In fact, DUC’s conservation programs have secured 6.0 million acres of habitat and positively influenced 47 million acres more. DUC has become Canada’s most trusted and respected conservation organization.

DU Canada duck head logo was designed in 1970 by Ernie Wilson, Winnipeg artist and art director. The logo was immediately adopted as the corporate symbol for Canada’s largest organization dedicated to the conservation of waterfowl habitat.

The logo was adopted in 1983 by DU Inc , the sister organization in the USA and in 1992 by DU Australia and 1993 by DU New Zealand.
