Give a Duck Stamp this Holiday Season
If you’re engaged in some holiday shopping, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has a great gift suggestion: Consider giving someone a Duck Stamp — or Migratory Bird Stamp — for the holidays.
As the USFWS states:
What better way to celebrate the spirit of the season than by stuffing holiday stockings with a federal Duck Stamp, $15, for everyone who values conservation and the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Ninety-eight cents of every Duck Stamp dollar goes to the purchase of Refuge System land. More than 5 million acres of Refuge System land have been conserved with Duck Stamp revenue.
Federal Duck Stamps give visitors free entry into any national wildlife refuge that charges a fee. Collectors often buy both the Federal and Junior ($5) Duck Stamp because they are beautiful and can go up in value over the years.
Visit DuckStamp.com to buy Duck Stamps online or go to your local sporting goods store (any store that sells hunting and fishing licenses) to purchase them.
