Who We Are:
Delta Waterfowl’s mission is “to provide knowledge, future leaders, solutions and its passion for waterfowl to scientists, resource managers, waterfowlers, conservationists and the public to enhance waterfowl populations while securing the future of waterfowling.” To make this happen we need the help of concerned waterfowlers, like you.
What began in 1911 and was later nurtured by the father of wildlife management, Aldo Leopold in 1938, Delta Waterfowl Foundation has been and continues to be the leader in the field of waterfowl research, known internationally as the “University of Ducks”. Through the training of over 350 PhD’s and Masters in biology Delta Waterfowl is advancing research focused on enhancing and stabilizing waterfowl populations throughout North America.
What We Do:
Today, as avid sportsmen and sportswomen, biologists and conservationists, we are aggressively putting our research findings to work on the landscape to increase duck production. Our Delta Duck Production Program ensures that ducks will have secure breeding habitat and will be free of the effects of today’s overabundant and unnaturally destructive predator populations.
Delta Waterfowl Produces Ducks...and we cordially invite you to join an existing chapter or to form a new chapter in your area!
When you join an existing Delta Waterfowl chapter committee, you will attend meetings with other passionate waterfowlers, organize and participate in fundraising activities and determine how your local chapter dollars are spent.
Delta Waterfowl’s chapter and events system is unique in that chapters can invest or direct the spending of 25% of event proceeds. This Waterfowl Heritage Fund (WHF) provides local chapters a greater role in Delta’s mission. Eligible projects include mentored youth hunts, youth waterfowling training seminars, local nesting structure programs among others. Chapters can also choose to direct the WHF funds to current Delta research or program activities.
