Ducks Unlimited Canada, a non-profit private conservation organization, has been involved in the preservation and creation of waterfowl habitat in Canada for 49 years. Project development occurs primarily through a free easement system with Ducks Unlimited assuming the costs of development, construction, operation and maintenance. A variety of earthworks are
routinely undertaken to facilitate the management of waterfowl habitat. The revegetation of prescribed earthworks is an important element in the habitat development process. This paper will outline current reclamation strategies employed by Ducks Unlimited Canada in the development of wetland habitat projects in Alberta. The application of shrubs and other plant species in future reclamation planning is also discussed.
