Waterfowl hunters pay $5 for habitat programs

Resident and nonresident waterfowl hunters in North Dakota must buy a $5 waterfowl habitat restoration electronic stamp. All stamp fees and interest earned go into a new waterfowl habitat improvement fund in the state treasury. The Game and Fish Department can use this money to improve or restore waterfowl habitat and support youth hunting programs. This includes matching federal funding obtained by the department. Spending requires approval through legislative appropriations.
