Every Moment Matters: Shaping the Future Through
Volunteering
CHARLOTTETOWN, PE, April 16,
2024 /CNW/ - Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) proudly
announces Jennifer Dewland as the
Prince Edward Island Volunteer of the Year. Dewland, a steadfast
advocate for wetland conservation and a remarkable community
builder, has significantly contributed to the success of DUC's
initiatives over her five years of dedication.
Since moving from Labrador City,
Newfoundland, Dewland has been a driving force behind DUC's
Charlottetown chapter,
instrumental in organizing the annual Spring Shoot event and
enhancing community engagement. Her involvement in various DUC
events and programs, including the Duck and Run and DUC Land
Monitoring Program, showcases her commitment to conservation
efforts.
Her passion for conservation and community development has left
a tangible impact on PEI's wetlands and inspired a broader
demographic, especially younger women, to volunteer. DUC celebrates
her leadership, dedication, and the sense of community she
fosters.
"I think my favourite moment from my experiences with DUC so far
was seeing a tiny child's tricycle sell at the 2022 live auction
for over $700. What a crazy moment to
be a part of!"
It's these moments, she says, and the sense of community that
comes with them, that is such an important driver for her work.
That and the conservation impact she's been able to see in real
time. "This ever-growing network of community and seeing physical
improvements to wetland projects around the Island thanks to our
efforts is so motivating," says Jennifer.
