Arkansas is part of the Mississippi Flyway and provides important winter habitat for waterfowl that are produced in the prairies and Great Lakes states. In most years, Arkansas winters more mallards than any other place in North America. Eastern Arkansas comprises an important portion of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley, known regionally as the Delta. Historically, flooded forests of the Delta provided reliable high quality habitat for millions of mallards, wood ducks and other waterfowl. DU has worked to conserve more than 300,000 acres of waterfowl habitat throughout Arkansas. Our goal is to perpetually secure habitat and the future of Arkansas as a key wintering area in North America. Your support of DU will help us achieve that goal.
