BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA — Realtree, the world’s leading camouflage company, continues its legacy of strong support for waterfowl conservation by renewing its corporate partnership with Delta Waterfowl.

Under the agreement, Realtree continues as the “Official Camo Conservation Partner” of Delta Waterfowl, as well as a Presenting Sponsor of Delta’s HuntR3 programs to recruit waterfowl hunters and protect waterfowl hunting access across North America.

“At Realtree, we are committed to an active role in wildlife conservation, habitat improvement, and ensuring the future of hunting,” said Bill Jordan, Realtree designer and president. “These beliefs align perfectly with Delta Waterfowl’s programs. Our renewed commitment to Delta brings real energy to all our efforts. We sincerely hope many other manufacturers, retailers and hunters will follow us by joining Delta to support their excellent programs.”

Delta’s new HunteR3 initiative builds on the success of Delta’s First Hunt program, which continues as the largest waterfowl-specific hunter recruitment program in North America. Since 2003, First Hunt has introduced 80,000 people to the joys of duck and goose hunting. HunteR3 also includes Delta’s University Hunting Program, which is addressing an alarming trend of non-hunting wildlife management students, and Defending the Hunt, a program that fights threats to duck hunting across all flyways.

“The backing of Realtree is an important and fantastic boost for our efforts to recruit the next generation of waterfowl hunters,” said Dr. Scott Petrie, chief executive officer for Delta Waterfowl. “We greatly appreciate Realtree’s commitment to conservation and support for Delta’s programs.”

In addition to a major presence at HunteR3 and Delta chapter events, Realtree promotes MAX-5, Timber and other great camo patterns on Delta’s website and social media platforms. Delta also has the opportunity to promote The Duck Hunters Organization on Realtree’s waterfowl hunting blog and social media.

Thousands of outdoor and lifestyle products are available in Realtree camouflage patterns.
