Buy a Duck Stamp

Support National Wildlife Refuges through Duck Stamps.

You can now purchase your Stamp through the Brookline Bird Club. We also have Brookline Bird Club Duck Stamp holders/keychains available for sale.

The current Stamp is valid from July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024. Entrance to any national wildlife refuge in the United States is FREE when you show your Stamp.

As birders, we treasure our birding visits to national wildlife refuges locally and nationally. Of the 32 refuges in New England, 11 are in Massachusetts, including Parker River, Monomoy, Great Meadows, Oxbow, and Assabet River. By purchasing a Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp each year, often referred to as the Duck Stamp, we contribute to the purchase or leasing of newly protected lands.

Since 1934, sales of the Stamp have generated more than $1.1 billion to protect over 6 million acres of wetlands habitat on national wildlife refutes around the nation.  For every dollar you spend on Stamps, ninety-eight cents goes directly to protecting vital wetland habitat as part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. Your Stamp will also provide admission to refuges charging entrance fees, such as Parker River. With our large membership, purchasing a $25 Stamp can make a significant contribution to the continued protection of these important habitats.

For more information about the National Wildlife Refuge System, go to Fish & Wildlife. For more information on the Stamp, go to the FWS Duck Stamp page. For more about this year’s Stamp, go to News Releases – U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (fws.gov).  The site Friends of the Stamp features Stamp news, links, a calendar of upcoming events, and more.

You can also continue to buy your stamp at refuge offices, post offices, and refuge admission booths or online from USPS or www.duckstamp.com.

To purchase your Stamp through the Brookline Bird Club, send a $25 check made payable to:  Brookline Bird Club.  Include a stamped, self-addressed envelope and send to:  Mark Nelson, BBC Treasurer, 71 Winthrop Ave., Reading, MA  01867.

Holders/keychains are $ 2 each. Please, NO self-addressed stamped envelope with any order containing a holder since they will require additional packaging!
