Buy a Migratory Bird Stamp

Migratory Bird Stamp

One of the most important, yet least-understood, bird-conservation tools in this country is the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp. If you're a waterfowl hunter in the U.S, buying this "Duck Stamp" each year is required by law. If you're a bird educator, birdwatcher, wildlife watcher, wildlife photographer, or conservation-minded citizen, you should simply go out and buy a Stamp.

Fully 98 cents out of every dollar collected from the sale of these Stamps goes to the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and grasslands for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System.

The annual Stamp costing $15 is available at most U.S. Post Offices. Wildlife enthusiasts can emphasize that purchasing a Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp is simple, and it will give the holder the satisfaction of knowing that she or he is contributing directly to the protection of America's bird and associated wildlife habitats. The 2008-2009 stamp is illustrated here.
