Since 1934, the federal duck stamp has raised $1.3 billion for habitat conservation

I’m really excited to share that Robert Hautman won the 2026 Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest again with his beautiful acrylic painting of long-tailed ducks. This stamp isn’t just art—it raises about $40 million a year to protect wetlands and wildlife habitats across the U.S. Since 1934, the program has generated over $1.3 billion, helping conserve more than 6 million acres for nature lovers and hunters alike. And here’s the thing: buying a stamp also grants free access to national wildlife refuges, connecting people directly with the great outdoors.
