In 2020, over 5,500 people registered for Ducks Unlimited Canada's (DUC) National Boreal Program Wetlands 101: An Introduction to Boreal Wetlands.  This online training takes participants through how to identify and classify boreal wetlands and shares practical examples on how to apply this information on the ground.

Here's what participants are saying about this training:

This had a lot of great knowledge in learning the classification system and how intrinsic wetlands really are. Great introduction!

Great wetland information shared in short chapters. Enjoyed the content and delivery method.”

“This was a GREAT course! It was fun, educational and it was one of the good things I “accomplished” during the COVID crisis - thank you so much for the online option. I will continue to learn from the Field Guide I downloaded.”

  2. How do wetlands filter water?
