The Waterfowl Conservation Workshop is a three-day seminar for zoo and wildlife professionals and students, as well as dedicated private aviculturists managing their own waterfowl aviaries. The workshop provides a unique forum for the discussion of waterfowl husbandry, conservation, research, veterinary care, and other relevant topics. 
The 2018 Waterfowl Conservation Workshop will consist of two days of presentations and discussion, and one day of practical, hands-on workshops at Sylvan Heights Bird Park. 
WCW 2018 will coincide with the 2018 International Wild Waterfowl Association Conference, which will also be held in eastern North Carolina.
