Have you ever read about DUC’s work and wondered how we do it, or driven by a conservation project and thought, why there? The answer lies in years of high-quality, ground-breaking research, chronicled in over 800 publications. The research done at IWWR sets the stage for decades of conservation work. It uncovers the information our conservationists need to determine things like priority areas and conservation techniques. It all starts here.
Nestled on Beauséjour Marsh near the New Brunswick/Nova Scotia border, the site of the Beaubassin Research Station has a rich history. Both Aboriginal peoples and Acadian settlers used it as a meeting place. Today, it’s DUC’s hub for wetland and waterfowl research in Atlantic Canada. This world-class facility is a partnership between DUC, Acadia University and Irving Oil.
