CONSERVATION STAMPS

BSBO PROUDLY OFFERS THE FEDERAL DUCK STAMP!

Since the 1930s, the Federal Duck Stamps have contributed over $850 million and have helped to protect 5.5 million acres of habitat for wildlife and future generations. Buying the stamp is perhaps the single simplest thing individuals can do to support a legacy of wetland and grassland conservation for birds. Virtually all the stamp proceeds ($.98 of every $1) go to help secure valuable Refuge System habitats. 

We feel strongly that every birder should purchase a Duck Stamp:
      1) to support this important habitat conservation program
      2) to provide proof that birders voluntarily purchase this stamp in order to support the resource

The Duck Stamp is available for purchase in the Black Swamp Bird Observatory Gift Shop for $25.
Or, you can purchase your Duck Stamp HERE via PayPal or call the BSBO office at 419 898-4070 to order over the phone.

YOUR ORGANIZATION (OR STORE) CAN SELL THE DUCK STAMP, TOO!

Black Swamp Bird Observatory Presents…
How (and Why!) to Sell the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (Also known as the “Duck Stamp”)

HOW TO SELL THE STAMPS
  • Order from Amplex Corporation 1-800-852-4897
  • Stamps are $25.00 and non-taxable
  • Federal Duck Stamps come in books of 25. Make sure to cut the corner of the package only (along dotted line) and count to make sure there are only 25. If the package is completely open and there are less than 25 they will not refund. If there is not exactly 25, call Amplex at the number above and they will instruct you on what to do next.
  • Duck Stamps are sold as a consignment item. All unsold stamps and payment for those sold must be sent back to Amplex no later than June 15, of the following year, sent via certified mail with return receipt requested. Return only stamps for that year. (Amplex sends you all of this information when you order the stamps.) 
  • They supply promotional signage. Just ask for them.

WHY SELL THE DUCK STAMP
Ninety-eight cents out of every dollar generated by the sales of Federal Duck Stamps goes directly to buy or lease wetland habitat for protection in the National Wildlife Refuge System, making the Federal Duck Stamp Program one of the most successful conservation programs ever created! Since 1934, sales of Federal Duck Stamps have generated more than $800 million, which has been used to purchase or lease over six million acres of wetlands habitat in the United States. These lands are protected in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wildlife Refuge System.

FEDERAL DUCK STAMP (KEY CHAIN STYLE) HOLDER
  • Bbdzign.com – Item #SMKC100 / 100 Acrylic Key Chains for $55.00
  • This key chain allows the stamp to be inserted in one side and your organization’s logo on the opposite side 
  • We suggest selling them for an additional $2.00 above the cost of the stamp
