The greatest gifts that Ducks Unlimited supporters can leave for the next generation are healthy waterfowl populations and a conservation legacy. Join us in our mission to create wetlands sufficient to fill the skies today, tomorrow, and forever with waterfowl by enrolling your family member in the Legacy Greenwing Project today!

You can sign up your children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews and place their name on the Legacy Greenwing Project Plaque at the Mattaponi Wildlife Management Area. They will also receive a hand-carved, signed Greenwing Teal Decoy inlaid with a Commemorative Medallion by Capt. Charles Jobes and a Ducks Unlimited Legacy Greenwing membership.

MATTAPONI WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

Ducks Unlimited partnered with the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources to implement enhancements on 85 acres of managed wetlands in Caroline County, Virginia. Mattaponi WMA is a 2,543-acre parcel of public land located in the northwest corner of the Upper Coastal Plain at the confluence of the Mattaponi and South Rivers. As a contiguous tract of land with atypical topography for the area, Mattaponi WMA serves as a unique and diverse corridor for migratory waterfowl and other wildlife. Funded by NAWCA funds, the project included the installation of water control structures, removing beaver dams, enhancement canals, and reinforcing dikes. These improvements will improve wetland management and provide high-quality habitat for migrating and wintering waterfowl.
