Duck Stamp Artists
Anyone can support bird habitat conservation by buying Federal Duck Stamps - among the most successful conservation tools ever created to protect habitat for birds and other wildlife. 98% of the purchase price goes directly to help acquire and protect wetland habitat and purchase conservation easements for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Wetlands acquired with Duck Stamp dollars help purify water, aid in flood control, reduce soil erosion and sedimentation, and enhance outdoor recreation opportunities.
