On March 24, 2022, Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU), spanning five years and including $250,000 in new funding commitments.
This agreement marks the continuation of a long and collaborative relationship between Weyerhaeuser and DUC that will involve several projects over a five-year period in the temperate and boreal forest regions of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
