14th Annual MNRDW Fundraising Banquet --- August 19th, 2023
MNRDW will have there 14th annual fundraising banquet, please come out and show your support.


TICKETS ARE PRE-SELL ONLY AND NOT UPGRADEABLE AT THE DOOR!
 Our goal as a local chapter of Delta Waterfowl is to raise awareness of the organization
and waterfowl conservation efforts with a focus on youth participation and conservation activities.
We build and distribute wood duck boxes, sponsor an annual youth hunt and local youth shooting teams,
mentor students participating in scholastic conservation projects, as well as support and participate
in a local chapter of Hunting Retriever Club.

Your membership to Delta Waterfowl will benefit the continuing programs for duck production like
Predator Management and Hen Houses that add thousands of ducks to every fall flight, habitat conservation
through agriculture policy and habitat programs, waterfowl research through science based programs that 
have been in place since the 1930s, and a new initiative to boost waterfowl hunters in North America called 
HunteR3. It also helps provide you with the knowledge that Delta Waterfowl is making a difference for waterfowl
through their award-winning magazine and national website at www.deltawaterfowl.org. Delta Waterfowl has proudly
celebrated more than 100 years of conservation efforts.



“Delta Waterfowl’s mission is to provide knowledge, future leaders, 
solutions and its passion for waterfowl to scientists, resource managers,
waterfowlers, conservationists and the public to enhance waterfowl populations
 while securing the future of waterfowling.”

Delta Waterfowl has 60,000 members and chapters in 41 states and 7 provinces
