The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's 1999 waterfowl stamp and print is titled \"Green-Winged Teal at Pisgah Covered Bridge\" and was painted by North Carolina artist Robert C. Flowers. The Randolph County bridge, built in 1910, is one of only two covered bridges left in the state. Since its inception in 1983, the North Carolina Wildlife Heritage series of stamps and prints has raised over $3 million for waterfowl conservation.
