Saving Wetlands for 30 Years
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department recently celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Vermont Duck Stamp program at Mallet’s Creek Wildlife Management Area in Colchester. The Duck Stamp has raised $4.5 million and helped conserve nearly 12,000 acres of wetlands and surrounding habitat in Vermont.
Several founders of the program were honored at the event. Moe Harvey and Carl Pagel were two of the founders of the program. The Nature Conservancy, and their staffers Jon Binhammer and John Roe, have been crucial partners in purchasing and restoring wetlands. And the members of the Waterfowl Advisory Committee were thanked for their continued commitment to conservation.
