Federal
Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamps, commonly
known as Ducks Stamps, are pictorial stamps produced
by the U.S. Postal Service for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service. They
are not valid for postage. Originally created in
1934 as the federal licenses required for hunting
migratory waterfowl, Federal Duck Stamps have a much
larger purpose today.

Federal Duck Stamps are a vital tool for wetland conservation. Ninety-eight cents out of every dollar generated by the sales of Federal Duck Stamps goes directly to purchase or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System. Understandably, the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated and is a highly effective way to conserve America's natural resources. Besides serving as a hunting license and a conservation tool, a current year's Federal Duck Stamp also serves as an entrance pass for National Wildlife Refuges where admission is normally charged. Duck Stamps and the products that bear duck stamp images are also popular collector items. |
