I am the Atlantic Education Coordinator for Ducks Unlimited Canada. It is our goal that Canadians will be better informed as to the value of wetlands, the second most diverse ecosystems in the world, and help support DUC (through monetary support, in-kind support, and various other methods) in it's work to protect and re-establish our vanishing wetlands. As Education Coordinator, I am responsable for initiation programs that will create emotional connections to wetlands among youth. This is done through various curriculum-based programs throughout Atlantic Canada.
