Founded in 2005, the Ipswich River Ducks Unlimited Chapter is a local extension of the international organization of Ducks Unlimited. We are a grassroots, volunteer-based organization. Our members are conservationists and lovers of the outdoors who live in the Eastern Massachusetts area. We are focused on conservation, community involvement, leadership, and friendship.
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest private waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization, with a membership of over 700,000 and over 11 million acres of wetlands conserved. DU's conservation projects occur throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Wherever waterfowl breed, migrate, or winter Ducks Unlimited is there.
Waterfowl are not the only beneficiaries of DU's work. Wetlands improve the overall health of our environment by recharging and purifying groundwater, moderating floods, reducing soil erosion, and providing recreation. These are nature's most productive ecosystems, providing critical habitat to 900 wildlife species, including several that are threatened or endangered. The United States has lost more that half of its original wetlands, and continues to lose more than 109,000 acres of the vegetated wetlands most important to wildlife each year.
