About the N.C. Waterfowl Conservation Stamp and Print Program:
The N.C. Waterfowl Conservation Stamp and Print program, established in 1983 by the North Carolina Wildlife Commission, generates revenue for waterfowl conservation in the state, including acquiring and improving habitat. Proceeds from the sale of stamps and prints are designated for the Commission’s Waterfowl Fund.
The money is used to help North Carolina meet its financial obligations in implementing the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, the international agreement helping restore waterfowl populations throughout the continent.
About the Artist - Richard Clifton
