Our Junior Duck Stamp Contest Program is returning, and this year we’re partnering with the Redlin Art Center!

Students will explore the connection between art, waterfowl, and conservation in a setting that celebrates Terry Redlin’s deep love for wildlife and the outdoors. We can’t wait to inspire young artists once again!
