Main Headline: Protecting Louisiana’s wood ducks and wetlands, one nest box at a time.
Mission Statement: Southern Quacker Wildlife Conservation is a Louisiana-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding wood duck populations and protecting the wetland habitats they depend on. We do this by designing, installing, and monitoring high-quality nest boxes across private lands and the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area.
Why It Matters: Wood ducks once faced serious decline due to habitat loss and the shortage of natural nesting cavities. Today, well-placed nest boxes give these birds a safe place to raise their young and help restore healthy populations across Louisiana’s forests and wetlands.
What We Do:
Build and install durable nest boxes designed specifically for wood ducks
Monitor boxes and track nesting success
Partner with landowners, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and local organizations
Educate the public about wetland conservation and the role of nest boxes
Work toward a long-term goal of 500 nest boxes by 2035
Our Approach: We are a volunteer-driven organization focused on practical, on-the-ground results. Every box we install is a direct investment in Louisiana’s wood ducks and the wetlands that support them. Your support makes this work possible.
