“ It’s said
their numbers
once darkened the sun.
Once they were said to be countless. Today it takes special care to ensure
waterfowling's survival. It takes your help.
Ducks Unlimited is an organization that provides our Continent's waterfowl
with the habitat they need to breed and survive. DU works to protect and restore
the marshlands of Canada, where United States Federal funds do not reach ...
and where 70% of our waterfowl are hatched.
DU has reserved more than3.2 million acres of habitat — more than any other
private wildlife organization. But as civilization presses in upon natural waterfowl
habitats, DU's work becomes even more important. And so do your dollars.
We're asking you to give to a non-profit organization that has shown how
private donations can heip. We may not be able to make waterfowl numbers grow
to darken the sun again. Bui we can keep them flying. And will, with your help.
