Benefiting Delaware

The Mallard Conservation Initiative

Welcome to the New Castle County Chapter of Ducks Unlimited webpage. 
From this "pothole," we will bring you exciting news about our chapter, from information on upcoming NCCo DU events, to important conservation news, and most importantly, how you can contribute to the important mission of Ducks Unlimited.

From the desk of the Committee Chairman...
Summer is here and we have had a great year in the first 6 months.  We recognized several individuals in our community that have demonstrated their "Commitment to Conservation" for many years through their support of NCCo DU at our Spring Chairman's Recognition Dinner in March.  We had an increased attendance and grassroots fundraising at our 99+1 Covey Rise Clay Shoot in June.  And we had a fantastic day at the Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club at our 7th annual Golf Outing on June 17th. 

Whether it's golfing, shooting clays, or the traditional DU dinners, we had a variety of events in the first 6 months of 2010 that provided the opportunity for our supporters to donate and participate in the DU mission. 

We have two events remaining in 2010, please contact a committee member or myself to see how you can participate in these two events and continue to support NCCo DU.

We have also tentatively scheduled the dates for two of our events in 2011, so you can mark your calendars now and Save the Date!!

Also be sure to read about what DU is doing to lead the charge in the Gulf in addressing the catastrophic oil spill.
