> 
> Now that you all have written letters or called your legislators regarding
> funding for the Wisconsin Stewardship Fund, I suggest that we all plan to go
> out and buy the brand new 2003-2004 "Duck Stamp". This beautiful work of art
> by Ron Louque depicts two Snow Geese in flight over the Chincoteague
> National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia.
> 
> The new stamp, which will be available July 1, is officially titled the
> "Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp" and 98 cents from every
> dollar spent on the stamp goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation
> Fund to conserve wetlands and associated habitats for inclusion in the
> National Wildlife Refuge System.
> 
> The stamps are purchased by waterfowl hunters, stamp collectors, wildlife
> art enthusiasts, conservationists and birders. The stamps are $15 each and
> would make a great gift for a friend....(how about everyone on your
> Christmas list?) They also can be used to gain admission to any NWR in the
> US that charges an entry fee.
> 
> The stamps are made available in many locations for ease of purchase. I
> checked the web site below and find that I can purchase them locally at many
> banks, the local post office, and Walmart. So, no excuses.
> 
> For more information, check out the web site below. This seems like a great
> way for birders to join forces with waterfowl hunters and conserve land that
> is precious to all of us.
