Friends of the Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp Will Support Wildlife Conservation Through Federal Duck Stamp Program
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Friends of the Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp, formalizing a commitment by both organizations to cooperatively support and promote the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp, commonly called the Federal Duck Stamp.
The continued success of the Federal Duck Stamp has been one of the hallmark achievements in the history of North American bird conservation. Since its inception in 1934, the Duck Stamp has generated more than $800 million that has been used to acquire and protect almost 6 million acres of habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System.
Waterfowl hunters age 16 and older are required to purchase and carry the current Duck Stamp. Conservationists, stamp collectors, wildlife watchers, and others buy the stamp to support habitat conservation, and a current Duck Stamp can be used for free admission to any national wildlife refuge national wildlife refuge
A national wildlife refuge is typically a contiguous area of land and water managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for the conservation and, where appropriate, restoration of fish, wildlife and plant resources and their habitats for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans.
