Stress Vital Role of Wetlands to Hunting and Need to Restore
Clean Water Act Protections Washington, DC – This weekend’s
selection of the 2012 Federal Duck Stamp art contest winner –
whose work will appear on stamps purchased by every duck hunter
in America – puts a spotlight on the nation’s troubled wetland
ecosystems. The Izaak Walton League, National Wildlife
Federation, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, and
Trout Unlimited support restoring Clean Water Act protections
for wetlands and other waters that are critical to fish and
wildlife populations and our outdoor traditions. Waterfowl
hunters contribute millions of dollars each year to restore and
protect wetlands across the country. Sin
