[Maine-birds] Federal Junior Duck Stamp Celebration: Saturday, March 26th

On Saturday, March 26th, there will be a Celebration for the 2016 Federal Junior Duck Stamp Contest. It will take place at the LL Bean flagship store in Freeport, ME. The event will be from 10:00 am- 2:00 pm.

Keynote speakers include Scott Johnston (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Migratory Birds), who will speak about the Centennial of the Migratory Bird Treaty, and Jane Kim (Ink Dwell Studio), who will speak about her experience using art to promote conservation. Kim is based in San Francisco, has an extensive career as an artist and science illustrator, and recently finished painting the incredible Wall of Birds mural at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. 

In the afternoon, winning contestants and their artwork will be recognized by Edie Smith, State Director for Senator King. Non-profit partners will have booths in the adjacent room to share their research and conservation projects throughout the day.

Students are highly encouraged to attend and to be recognized for their achievements.
We look forward to seeing you there! Please see the flyer below for a detailed schedule of events.
