Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance (MPWA) are teaming up to host an exciting two-day workshop all about wetlands in the Peace Region!

**Location:** Grimshaw, Alberta   
Exact venue and field sites to be confirmed closer to the event date.   
**Dates:** July 15 & 16, 2025   
**Doors Open:** 8:30 a.m.  
**Programming Begins:** 9:00 a.m.  
**Cost:** Free  
**Lunch provided**

**Day 1**   
The morning of the first day will be spent inside learning about all the different wetlands we have in Alberta and how to identify them.

Then, you’ll learn about the Alberta Water Act and the Alberta Wetland Policy via an interactive session unpacking the effects of wetland drainage on watershed health, current provincial wetland policy, approvals under the Water Act, and wetland restoration resources and opportunities.

In the afternoon, we’ll take it outside! Put your new knowledge into action as we identify different wetland types and chat about policy applications in the field.

**Day 2**   
The morning will delve into key wetland services such as water regulation and purification, biodiversity support, climate regulation, and carbon storage.

The afternoon will continue with a wrap-up discussion, offering participants a chance to learn about emerging wetland best management practices and to reflect on challenges and opportunities for wetland stewardship in the region.

We are excited to provide this workshop free of charge to participants, thanks to the Alberta Government's Watershed Restoration and Resiliency Program. We appreciate that some participants may be coming from farther away and may require accommodations for this workshop. For that reason, we are able to provide a group rate at the Coast Grimshaw Hotel and Suites – Ask for the Ducks Unlimited Canada Rates!
