Description
Put your stamp on conservation!
Each year, Klamath Bird Observatory offers a Conservation Stamp Set for purchase with proceeds supporting both national and regional conservation efforts. The 2025-26 two-stamp set includes:
- The Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (the Duck Stamp), and
- KBO’s Conservation Science Stamp.
The Federal Duck Stamp is among the most successful conservation tools ever created. Duck Stamp sales contribute directly to habitat conservation in our National Wildlife Refuges. KBO’s Conservation Science Stamp builds on this success by bringing additional support and attention to our science-driven conservation efforts.
The Conservation Science Stamp raises funds to support KBO’s mission – advancing bird and habitat conservation through science, education, and partnerships.
If you already have this year’s duck stamp from another distributor, you can purchase the KBO’s Conservation Science Stamp independently. Please click here to email us a copy of your Duck Stamp and use the discount Code “HaveDuckStamp” upon checkout.
The Artist
Conservation Science Stamp
Nora Sherwood entered the field of science illustration as a midlife career changer, having spent many years in the high-tech world. She graduated from the University of Washington’s Natural Science Illustration certificate program in the Spring of 2014 and is a full-time, self-employed artist.
Intricate details and patterns found in nature are endlessly fascinating; Nora enjoys the challenge of portraying them on paper. Watercolor – my primary medium – is a highly technical but powerful medium that allows her to construct illustrations in layers, always considering pigment characteristics and color theory to build forms and create depth. She primarily works with organizations such as museums, zoos, government agencies, consumer product companies, and academics.
