Abstract:

In 1983, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law to fund waterfowl habitat preservation by asking waterfowl hunters to purchase a specially painted state duck stamp. The 1985 stamp features a pair of canvasback ducks and was painted by Tom Hirata, a nationally known wildlife artist. Over the past two years, $825,000 has been raised for waterfowl conservation.
