June 26, 2020

Did you know you can support wildlife by purchasing a Federal Duck Stamp? 98% of each purchase goes directly into protecting wetland habitat through conservation easements, leases, and purchasing of critical habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System.

Plus, you don’t have to be a hunter to purchase a stamp! Birders, hikers, fisherman, and all other outdoor enthusiasts can purchase a stamp online or at their local post office beginning June 26th, 2020. The more people buying Federal Duck Stamps, the better off wildlife and wildlife habitat will be!

Did you know, almost 38,000 acres at five refuges in SC have been conserved through funds received from Federal Duck Stamp sales? Since 1934 six million acres of mostly wetland, bottomland, and grassland habitat have been acquired through duck stamp sales nationally. Wetlands acquired help purify water, aid in flood control, reduce soil erosion and sedimentation, and enhance outdoor recreation opportunities.
