Why a Stamp “Friends Group”?

The Friends of the Migratory Bird/Duck Stamp is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion, preservation, sales, and better understanding of the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (commonly called the Duck Stamp). The organization will foster an appreciation of how the funds collected through the Stamp build the National Wildlife Refuge System and emphasize the conservation of habitat and the many wildlife species that benefit through the Stamp.

Why a Stamp “Friends Group”? Promotion Preservation Sales Better Understanding

Promotion $850+ million and the best-kept secret… Well over $850 million has already gone through the fund… Almost 5.5 million acres of wetland and grassland habitat… One of the best kept bird conservation secrets in the US… Bombay Hook NWR, Delaware

Promotion $850+ million and the best-kept secret… Why is “the best kept secret” something good? Not enough publicity. The Migratory Bird Conservation Commission operates mostly behind the scenes. Division of Realty not well understood. Bombay Hook NWR, Delaware

Preservation Great Art and Great Traditions The tradition has helped sustained wetland and waterfowl conservation for almost 80 years. It has a loyal constituency of proud waterfowl hunters and an enthusiastic set of collector-fans

Preservation A great history doesn’t always mean current success! Harlequin Ducks by John H. Dick (2.3 million sold) Judging, 1951
