Ducks Unlimited - Canada (DUC)

Ducks Unlimited is a private organization dedicated to preserving the many wetlands in Atlantic Canada (Prince Edward Island...Nova Scotia...New Brunswick...Newfoundland) to give hundreds of species of waterfowl the natural habitat for them to have a happy existence in the ecosystem. There are approximately 120,000 acres of wetlands under the control of Ducks Unlimited in Atlantic Canada.

Recently the Lieutanant Governor of Prince Edward Island presented the Greenwing Conservation Award to Charles H. Perret & Gloria McKinnon Perret for their hard work in preserving the wetlands in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The Perret's donated 173 acres of wetlands to the Island Nature Trust in PEI. The Perret's requested that these acres be undeveloped and free of any form of pollution. The Perret's were very honoured to receive the very prestigeous award.

Prince Edward Island wetlands are not a normal listing property in Prince Edward Island, but they are very important to the PEI Real Estate Association for the obvious reasons.

That's it for now...
