Delta Waterfowl has just announced what may become one of the most significant efforts in our organization’s history — the Restoring Our Refuges initiative.

This groundbreaking project focuses on two critical missions:
• Restoring vital habitat for migrating waterfowl across the flyways
• Rebuilding hunting access lost as habitat on National Wildlife Refuges and state wildlife areas has declined

Joining Joel are Delta CEO Jason Tharpe and Chief Policy Officer John Devney — the leaders at the forefront of this initiative. Together, they break down why Restoring Our Refuges has the potential to change the future of waterfowl hunting in North America.

With early-season reports showing urgent habitat challenges, the time to act is now.
Hit play and learn what’s coming next for hunters, conservation, and our refuges.
