Ducks Unlimited Canada is inviting runners, walkers, and wheelers to join in their annual Duck and Run fundraiser happening across Canada this June.
In Tantramar, the Duck and Run fun run is happening at the Sackville Waterfowl Park on Saturday, June 6 at 11 am.
Duck and Run is Ducks Unlimited Canada’s annual race for wetland conservation. Participants can choose to take part in person at a fun run near them, or try the virtual challenge; both directly support Ducks Unlimited’s wetland conservation efforts.
Last year, Duck and Run helped raise over $100,000 to protect Canada’s wetlands. Wetlands are incredible ecosystems, but across the populated parts of Canada, many have been lost and more are threatened every day. Wetlands play a key role in absorbing and storing carbon, reducing the impact of floods and wildfire, and cleaning water to benefit humans and animals alike. Across Canada, there are more than 550 animal and bird species that rely on wetlands, and almost 100 of those are at risk.
