NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Interior Department is selling a new duck
stamp envelope to raise money for conservation in the aftermath of
the Gulf oil spill.
The new duck stamp envelopes, or cachets, were unveiled Tuesday.
They feature a silk rendering of a photograph of St. Marks National
Wildlife Refuge on the Gulf Coast of Florida, as well as the
2010-2011 federal duck stamp.
They sell for $25 - $10 more than a duck stamp alone. The extra
$10 will be used to buy land for national wildlife refuges on the
Gulf Coast.
All migratory bird hunters must buy a duck stamp along with
state licenses and permits.
This year's stamp shows an American wigeon painted by artist
Robert Bealle of Waldorf, Md.
