Bruce Ross, the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Waterfowl Association (WWA), discusses the organization's mission and initiatives. WWA focuses on wetland restoration, education, and advocacy for waterfowl hunters in Wisconsin. They work on both private and public lands to restore wetlands and create habitat for waterfowl. The organization also promotes the conservation of wild rice, an important food source for ducks. WWA has recently partnered with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to restore wetlands on public lands. They also have a wood duck box program and encourage volunteers to get involved in their conservation efforts. The Wisconsin Waterfowl Association (WWA) is dedicated to conserving and restoring wetlands and waterfowl habitat in Wisconsin. They work with various levels of government and organizations to make a difference on the landscape, regardless of ownership. The WWA's Waterfowlers Academy aims to turn newbie or wannabe waterfowlers into passionate conservationists, following the path of Aldo Leopold. They offer programs like Learn to Hunt waterfowlers and focus on bringing in women and persons of color to expand the hunting community. The WWA also organizes the Waterfowl Hunters Expo, a family-friendly event that celebrates everything about waterfowling and raises funds for conservation efforts.
