Greenwing
Adventure
Do you care about wetlands and love
spending time outdoors? Are you a 13-17 year old and
interested in learning new skills and meeting other
youth from across Canada? Then apply to be a part of the
Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) Great Greenwing
Adventure to take part in the eco-adventure of
a lifetime!
Ten teenagers from across Canada will be selected and
sponsored by DUC for an action-packed week at Oak
Hammock Marsh, and Delta Marsh in Manitoba. You'll learn
about wetlands, wildlife and conservation and develop
knowledge and skills that will help you in your future
studies and career choices.
From August 6-12, 2005, this team of young
environmentalists will have fun learning new skills
while getting involved in a load of exciting, hands-on
activities, like:
- Bird-banding, geocaching
- Survival skills, first-aid, camping
- Airboat rides, radio telemetry and
canoeing
Plus, you'll spend time with DUC's scientists and
interpreters learning about the cutting-edge
environmental research that guides DUC's wetland
conservation work.
It's a week filled with campfires, swimming and
outdoor fun! To apply on-line visit Ducks
Unlimited and let us know what you've done for the
environment and why you'd be a great member of the
Adventure team.

Refvik: "It was a great experience. I learned
practical ways to make my own life more sustainable.
Like how to become a winter-biker in Winnipeg--now
that's a challenge! My school group got in touch with
other environmental groups across our city. Hopefully
we'll be able to work together on a city-wide initiative
or to support their campaigns in our community."
Shelby
Wray: "I found the presentations to be
educational and interesting at the same time. I think
that everyone, including myself, came away with a better
knowledge of what can be done and that there are so many
other great students already doing such wonderful
things. It was a learning experience that I think all
who attended will appreciate."
Jeff
Bird: "The forum was a blast there was a lot of
cool and interesting people that attended, I also
thought that the play that went on was interesting as
well."
