Kentucky Junior Duck Stamp

Kentucky Junior Duck Stamp An exciting curriculum based art and writing contest for students K-12, deadline March 15th. Prizes are made available through gracious sponsors.

A great way to get kids involved in the outdoors is through the Junior Duck Stamp Art and Writing Contest! The Junior Duck Stamp contest teaches students about wetlands, migration, conservation, waterfowl, and land stewardship. This program has been used in not just art and science classes, but writing, history, gifted, and special needs classes as well. The contest is a great learning experience

for all levels of talent! Recognition is given to winners in many forms including cash, ribbons, certificates, etc. If you know someone in grades K-12 who would be interested, please give them the opportunity to show their talent. If you would like more information, or would like to schedule a time for staff to speak with your students about the Junior Duck Stamp Contest, contact us!

250 years. Countless migrations. 🦆

As America marks its Semiquincentennial, we celebrate not only our nation's history but also the wild places that have endured alongside it. Long before highways and city skylines, waterfowl followed flyways across North America. Today, ducks and geese still travel those same routes, connecting wetlands, refuges, and communities.🌾🦆 ♥️🤍💙

Happy Dinosaur Day to all who celebrate—especially the feathered dinosaurs outside your window 🦕🦆

It’s wild to think that birds are direct descendants of ancient dinosaurs. In fact, many dinosaurs likely had feathers long before modern birds ever took flight.

That means every goose, teal, Mallard, and swan carries a little piece of prehistory into the present day.
