From 2003 through 2008, New Jersey’s Waterfowl Stamp Program offered collectible prints in addition to the paper stamps required of migratory bird hunters. As a cost-saving measure, the paper stamp and waterfowl print were discontinued beginning with the 2009 stamp.

Revenue and royalties received from the sale of these artist signed, numbered, limited edition prints and matching stamps supported acquisition of land of ecological value to waterfowl. To date, more than 16,000 acres of wetlands and waterfowl habitat have been purchased through the program.

Below are depictions of the artwork and the collectible stamp prints, along with stamp, artist and print information. These and other original stamp artwork are on display at the Pequest Trout Hatchery and Natural Resource Education Center. For information on the current program visit the New Jersey Waterfowl Stamp Program page.
