JUNIOR DUCK

STAMP PROGRAM

What is the Junior Duck Stamp Program?

“The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program

is a dynamic art- and science-based curriculum that teaches wetland

and waterfowl conservation to students in kindergarten through high

school. The program encourages students to explore their natural

world, invites them to investigate biology and wildlife management

principles and challenges them to express and share what they have

learned with others.” – USFWS JDSP Website

Youth participate in an artwork competition featuring a JDSP-

approved waterfowl species. The winning artwork from the

national art contest will serve as the design for the Junior Duck

Stamp.

By incorporating different subjects, JDSP can engage multiple types

of learners and promote critical thinking, problem solving, and

creativity.
