Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area

Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area (HPWA) is a major wetland habitat in southwestern Ontario, east of Clinton, which was developed in a partnership between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ducks Unlimited Canada.

It consists of 2200 hectares of mixed terrain of which almost 40% is open water, marsh or swamp and provides a habitat for resident and migrant birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and plants.

It is managed by a volunteer organization, the Friends of Hullett, to benefit the wildlife of the area and provide day-use recreation activities.

[1] In 1979 the Ministry of Natural Resources signed a 99-year agreement with Ducks Unlimited to design, construct and maintain the wetlands.

The majority of the work, including the construction of 18 km of dykes on the floodplain of the South Maitland River, was completed by 1983.
