One of the wonderful scientists on our advisory board, Anne Warner,  just sent this around to me and so I thought I’d share.

From Anne:

“There are so few ways to fund conservation work in this state I want to support this novel approach and help get the word out about this opportunity to help the ODFW raise dedicated funding to support Oregon Conservation Strategy implementation efforts.

Proceeds from ODFW’s 2012 Habitat Conservation Stamp will fund habitat conservation projects with a focus on grasslands—one of the most imperiled habitats in Oregon. Stamps sell for $40 and include a free ODFW Wildlife Area Parking Pass (a $22 value). Stamps and prints are available for purchase online at ODFW’s website or anywhere fishing and hunting licenses are sold.   More information can be found at, http://www.dfw.state.or.us/conservationstrategy/habitat_conservation_stamp.asp

Please join us and help spread the news about this new opportunity to generate dedicated funding to support conservation efforts associated with the Oregon Conservation Strategy and Oregon Nearshore Strategy.  I have also attached a copy of the order form which you can print out and mail or fax back to ODFW.”
