Ninety-eight cents of every Stamp dollar goes to land acquisition from willing sellers through purchase or easements.
The new Stamp is good from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
You can purchase a stamp directly from the BBC: https://brooklinebirdclub.org/duck-stamps/
You can also purchase stamps at any refuge, or through the ABA. Get your Stamp now and go visit Parker River NWR!
