Today, June 26, 2015, is the first day of sale for the 2015-2016 Federal Duck Stamp! Ninety-eight cents of every dollar generated by the sale of Federal Duck Stamps goes to purchase or lease wetland habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Since 1934, $800 million in proceeds from Duck Stamp sales have helped acquire and protect more than 6 million acres of wetlands within the Refuge System.
This year the price for a stamp has increased from $15 to $25. Raising the price of the stamp will restore most of the purchasing power that's been lost since the price was last increased in 1991.
The 2015 stamp can be purchased at licensed retailers, many national wildlife refuges, many U.S. Post Offices, toll-free at (800) STAMP-24, and online at duckstamp.com,
