Just as there are myriad ways local chapters raise funds in their communities to benefit Ducks Unlimited’s conservation mission, there are also a number of national recognition programs for chapters and events that perform at the highest levels on a calendar year basis. See the National Awards page for a description of each award.
In 2015, North Carolina Ducks Unlimited finished 3rd in the nation! Congratulations to all!
