National Wildlife Stamps
Now Being Distributed

Wildlife homes are given special attention in the 20th annual Wildlife Conservation stamps, the 1957 series now being distributed by the National Wildlife Federation, it has been learned here by the Montana Fish and Game department.

These stamps have become an American institution since the first series was painted in 1938 and since then they have financed scores of educational and research projects and helped build the Federation into the nation's largest conservation organization.

Reproduced in six-color lithography for natural appearance, the stamps are distributed by mail to conservation-minded citizens throughout the nation at $1.00 per set.

Six of the 1957 series show typical forms of natural wildlife homes while another group shows wildlife homes which can be provided by man in conservation projects. Twenty-four of the stamps follow tradition by presenting portraits of beautiful and interesting species of wild birds, mammals, fishes and wild flowers.

The subjects tie in with the "make-a-place-for-wildlife" theme of National Wildlife Week which will be observed by conservation groups throughout the country March 17 to 23.
