Want to help conserve ducks, geese, and their waterfowl cousins? Buy a Federal Duck Stamp! 98% of the purchase price goes directly to acquiring and protecting vital wetlands habitat. To date, the program has raised more than $1.1 billion, helped conserve more than 6 million acres of waterfowl habitat, and helped create or expand more than 300 National Wildlife Refuges across the country. The Federal Duck Stamp program is one of the most successful conservation programs ever created, and you can be a part of it.
Stop in to the Institute to get yours, and while you’re here, check out the traveling Junior Duck Stamp exhibit. The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program is an art and science-based curriculum that teaches wetland and waterfowl conservation to students in kindergarten through high school. The winning artwork (created by a child in the program) from a national art contest serves as the design for the Junior Duck Stamp, sales of which support recognition and environmental education activities for students who participate in the program.
