The 2014-2015 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, aka. "Duck
Stamp" is available at many US post offices, sporting and outdoor stores.
It features a stunning portrait of a pair of Canvasbacks.
Since 1934, the Duck Stamp has generated over $800M in funds for
conservation in the US, mainly in the National Wildlife Refuge system.
Over 6M acres have been purchased or leased.
The $15 stamp is required to hunt migratory waterfowl in the US, but one
need not hunt or even approve of hunting to purchase it. It also allows
access to those National Wildlife Refuges that charge admission. Of the
$15, $14.95 goes directly to conservation, not to administration or
fundraising. No other conservation program is as cost effective.
Duck Stamps make great holiday gift items for conservation minded friends
and those who should be.
