Ducks Unlimited

Registered Principal Details

Business Or Interest:
Ducks Unlimited's interest is to conserve wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever. DU will achieve our vision through diverse public and private partnerships to address the full range of factors that continue to erode waterfowl habitat across North America.

Lobbying Interests:
Ducks Unlimited plans to engage in lobbying activities when proposed legislation has a direct impact to the conservation and management of Wisconsin's wetland habitats or that impacts the ability for people to hunt waterfowl. The organization will also engage in lobbying if legislation is proposed that impacts charitable gaming laws in a way that will affect the organization's fundraising methods.
