The local Jacksonville chapter of Ducks Unlimited brought out the big guns, drawing corporate and other business support for the annual banquet in Riverside. The event, held at the Firefighter’s Hall on Stockton Street, drew hundreds of hunting, fishing and wetlands enthusiasts for one common goal- the preservation and protection of future wetlands. Since 1937, DU has conserved more than 12 million acres of waterfowl habitat across North America. While DU works in all 50 states, the organization focuses its efforts and resources on the habitats most beneficial to waterfowl. More information can be found at www.ducksunlimited.org.
