With teal season on the horizon and episode 100 just around the corner, the Upduck crew sits down with Brian Glenzinski, Director of Conservation Programs for Ducks Unlimited’s Great Lakes Initiative. Brian brings a wealth of knowledge on everything from public land access and DU’s wetland restoration efforts to the critical importance of the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program in Wisconsin.

We dig deep into how funding, policy, and partnerships shape habitat conservation across the Midwest, including updates on major projects like Princess Point and Avon Bottoms. Brian also shares his backstory, his favorite hunting boat (spoiler: he owns a fleet), and how DU leverages science to put ducks in the sky and boots on public ground.
