Help stretch Connecticut Conservation $$$$<\/h2>\n

An excellent way to support habitat conservation<\/a> in Connecticut is to buy a CT Duck Stamp<\/a> and a Federal Duck Stamp<\/a> annually. A Federal Duck Stamp gets you free admission to any national wildlife refuge<\/a> that charges an entry fee. CT Duck Stamp funds have generated additional monies for Connecticut through matching grants from federal conservation initiatives.<\/p>\n
