UPPCO Partners with Ducks Unlimited on Wood Duck House Distribution

Pilot event to be held in Houghton

Houghton, MI - Upper Peninsula Power Company (UPPCO) is partnering with Ducks Unlimited to hold a wood duck house distribution event in Houghton on Friday, February 26. For a $10 donation, you will receive a wood duck house, instructions for use, and a one-year DU Green Wing membership for any youth up to 18 years old. The houses have a retail value of over $30.

UPPCO is joining its sister utility, Wisconsin Public Service Corporation (WPSC), in offering the houses this year. For many years, WPSC has worked with the McNaughton Correctional Facility in northern Wisconsin, which produces and assembles the wood duck houses. This year, in its pilot event, UPPCO will have 35 wood duck houses to distribute in the Houghton area.

The wood duck house distribution will take place from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Friday, February 26, at UPPCO's West Houghton Service Center, 18494 Canal Road. Once on site, follow the signs to the registration-distribution point. Supplies are limited and will be distributed on a first-come first-served basis.
