Each year your state wildlife agency, private conservation groups, the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, other federal agencies, and many private
landowners and business leaders work together to conserve and manage
millions of acres of habitat—swamps, forests, ponds and grasslands.
These habitats provide nesting habitat for songbirds and shorebirds,
ducks and geese, hawks and owls.
You can make a difference in helping protect habitats for migratory
birds by joining Partners in Flight, a consortium of the above groups
dedicated to finding reasonable ways to maintain the health of bird
populations in the Western Hemisphere. For more information about
Partners in Flight, please contact U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service,
Office of Migratory Bird Management, 4401 North Fairfax Drive,
Arlington, VA 22203.
Another way that you can help preserve a disappearing but valuable
natural resource—wetlands—is by buying Federal Duck Stamps at your
local post office. Money from sales of these stamps is used to protect
wetlands. For more information, write U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service,
Federal Duck Stamp Office, 1849 C Street, NW, Washington, DC 20240.
