The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in collaboration with the U.S. Postal Service, Ducks Unlimited, and Bass Pro Shops, is set to unveil the 2025-2026 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp on June 27 at Mack’s Prairie Wings in Stuttgart. This event, open to the public, marks the first opportunity for attendees to purchase the new Federal Duck Stamp, essential for migratory bird hunting, while also supporting vital habitat conservation efforts.
More than $1.2 billion has been raised since the Duck Stamp program’s inception in 1934, helping conserve over 6 million acres of wetland habitat across the U.S. The event will also showcase the Junior Federal Duck Stamp, created from the best submission from artists 18 or younger, allowing future conservationists to share their work and passion for nature. Both stamps will be available for purchase, with the winning artists present to sign their artwork, enhancing the experience for collectors and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
