FEDERAL DUCK STAMP
For every dollar you spend on Federal Duck
Stamps, ninety-eight cents goes directly to
purchase vital habitat for protection in the
National Wildlife Refuge System.
Why should you buy Duck Stamps?
Birders and other frequenters of National
Wildlife Refuges purchase a $15 Federal Duck
Stamp each year in order to gain free admission
to refuges. Conservationists buy Federal Duck
Stamps because they know that the stamps are,
dollar for dollar, one of the best investments
one can make in the future of America’s
wetlands.
The 2009-2010 Federal Duck Stamp, Long-tailed
Duck, by Joshua Spies will be available in the
Black Swamp Bird Observatory Gift Shop for $15.
