A “First Day of Issue” event is often held to celebrate the artists, purchasers, and conservation partners.The date of the First Day of Issue for the 2024-2025 Duck Stamp and Junior Duck Stamp is tentatively scheduled for 10 am on June 28, 2024 in Hannover, MD. Please check back for more details. Who Needs It?Anyone can contribute to wildlife habitat conservation by purchasing a Federal Duck Stamp. Since quality wetland habitats provide habitat for a myriad of species – including threatened and endangered plants and animals – as well as provide clean water, aid in flood control, and reduce the effects of soil erosion and sedimentation a current Federal Duck Stamp purchase allows you to be an active conservationist. Healthy habitats also enhance outdoor recreation opportunities which can provide an economic incentive to local communities.Migratory Bird Hunters (primarily duck and goose hunters) at or over the age of 16 must possess a current signed Federal Duck Stamp, along with state licenses and permits, to hunt legally. An E-stamp allows you to purchase a stamp online and immediately use the certification to legally hunt for 45-days while your physical stamp is mailed to you.The Service also depends on the U.S. Postal Service and our consignees to sell physical stamps at their locations or online through our consignment program.Federal Duck Stamps are printed in two formats on pressure-sensitive adhesive paper. The most common format is the pane of 1 dollar bill-sized sheetlet which features a detachable stamp on a carrier with additional artwork and information.

About Us
We contribute to the vibrancy and well-being of our community by expanding access to recreation experiences, serving as responsible stewards of cultural and natural resources and ensuring that our parks are clean, safe and welcoming.

Vision

Sonoma County's diverse network of parks and trails connects the community to the benefits of nature. We demonstrate excellent stewardship of the region's irreplaceable natural and cultural resources and focus on adapting to and reducing the impacts of climate change. The parks are welcoming and inclusive environments where visitors experience outstanding customer service and employees feel valued and engaged. Park facilities are beautiful, modern and efficient.

Values

Innovation, equity, inclusion, sustainability, accessibility, accountability
Land Acknowledgement
The county of Sonoma recognizes that we’re on the ancestral lands of the Coast Miwok, Pomo, and Wappo who are the original caretakers of this area. We respectfully acknowledge the Indigenous peoples who have been stewarding and maintaining relationship on this land as knowledge keepers for millennia.
The county of Sonoma is dedicated to understanding and educating the public about historical and ongoing connections between land conservation and social inequities. This includes the histories of genocide, forced removal and displacement and broken promises with Indigenous peoples as a part of American history.
Indigenous people are not just in our histories. We strive to optimize Indigenous voices to share their own history, as to not perpetuate another form of being silenced. While recognizing the past, we honor the resiliency of Native people still in their ancestral territories in relationship with their land and culture.
This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities but serves as a gesture of respect to the land we are on.

Social Equity and Parks
Sonoma County Regional Parks is committed to ensuring all Sonoma County residents have equitable access to the benefits parks provide the community. True to the philosophy of public parks is the concept that people of all backgrounds - no matter the color of their skin, age, income level, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, country of origin, or language - can enjoy programs, facilities, places and spaces on common ground. Parks build communities by creating welcome and inclusive environments.

Faces of InnoVAtion: Chris Slatore - VA News
Face of InnoVAtion is a regular series from the VHA Innovation Ecosystem (VHA IE) focusing on VA employees who are working to change and save Veteran lives through innovation. This month meet Chris Slatore, MD, MS, Pulmonary & Critical Care Physician. As the Director of Research Education at the Center to Improve Veteran Involvement in Care, Dr. Slatore works within the Department of Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University. 
A pulmonary and critical care physician, Dr. Christopher Slatore has a long-standing interest in treatments for lung cancer, the leading cause of death among all lung diseases. Merging his research pursuits with his passion to improve Veterans’ access to high-quality lung cancer screening processes, Dr. Slatore sought out a position at VA. The Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA’s) mission is to serve Veterans and provide them with the best medical care available anywhere, which drew Dr. Slatore in and set him on a path to innovation.
“I felt that working for the VA would give me the best chance to reduce people’s risk of dying from lung cancer.” explained Dr. Slatore.
Starting his career in research with pulmonary nodules—a precursor to developing lung cancer—Dr. Slatore later expanded his studies to multiple aspects of lung cancer screening, which became the foundation for his boundary-breaking innovation, the Centralized Lung Cancer Screening (CLCS) program. Galvanized by VHA’s culture of innovation and interdisciplinary resources, Dr. Slatore began his work to improve patient-centered outcomes and implement high-quality lung cancer screening processes. Lung cancer, encompassing small cell and non-small cell, is the second most common cancer in men and women and makes up almost 25 percent of all cancer deaths.
To help promote lung cancer screening throughout different VA facilities, Dr. Slatore and his team submitted their innovation to the Shark Tank Competition. The innovation provides Veterans with a highly inclusive, safe, and Veteran-centric process that increases access to life-saving annual lung cancer screenings and minimizes the burden for primary care providers.
The VHA Shark Tank Competition identifies employee-developed Promising Practices and matches them with interested facilities.
Raptors: Sonoma County’s wintertime visitors
Raptors: Sonoma County’s wintertime visitors
By Stephen Nett
As our seasons change from warm to cold and back again, they set in motion a gigantic, nearly invisible event across the landscape: Vast numbers of wild creatures set out on southward journeys to avoid the worst of winter weather, before turning north again in spring.  
Among them are roughly 300 species of feathered travelers who fly through Sonoma County, from pelicans to hummingbirds and tiny wrens to great herons. But it is the raptors – the types of bird who hunt from the sky –  who are most likely to capture our attention in wintertime skies. 
Our visiting raptor species include eagles, hawks, falcons, osprey, kites, owls and a number of others. Raptors are distinguished by their sharp claws or talons and cutting beaks, keen eyesight and superb flying abilities. 
Sonoma County sits beneath a great “aerial flyway” which offers these travelers relatively safe passage down the Pacific coast, as well as ample food and water for the journey. 
Some raptors live locally, and others drop by just to spend the winter. Some pass through on epic journeys: Scientists once fitted several young red-tailed hawks with beacons in Washington and tracked them flying through Northern California and all the way to Argentina. 
It’s only partially understood how and why raptors migrate. We know most migrating animals follow food sources, which become scarce or hard to find in winter, so moving is a survival strategy. No matter the reason, whether raptors live here or are just passing through, wintertime is one of the best times to spot raptors in Sonoma County’s parks.

Sonoma County parks are raptor favorites
Winters are relatively mild here, there are wild, open spaces and abundant food on land and in the water. And most important for raptors, our landscape has specific features that make it possible to soar and hunt effectively. 
Raptors look down from above to spot prey. But getting up to altitude is hard work and burns energy. It takes much less flapping to be pushed up instead by rising air.

An E-stamp allows you to purchase a stamp online and immediately use the certification to legally hunt for 45-days while your physical stamp is mailed to you.The Service also depends on the U.S. Postal Service and our consignees to sell physical stamps at their locations or online through our consignment program.Federal Duck Stamps are printed in two formats on pressure-sensitive adhesive paper. The most common format is the pane of 1 dollar bill-sized sheetlet which features a detachable stamp on a carrier with additional artwork and information. A smaller number of sheets of 20 stamps are printed as well – these are primarily purchased by those wanting “just the stamp” and are harder to acquire. Stamp and wildlife art collectors add to their valuable collections and support conservation at the same time.  As the longest running, single-themed stamp in the world, Federal Duck Stamps are first and foremost miniature works of art.  The design itself is chosen each year in the only open juried art competition sponsored by the federal government.  Artists can also become contributors to conservation through this unique opportunity.ProcessYou can purchase your stamp either online or in personTo purchase in person, check with your local post office, sporting goods or outdoor recreation stores, or any national wildlife refuge national wildlife refuge A national wildlife refuge is typically a contiguous area of land and water managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service  for the conservation and, where appropriate, restoration of fish, wildlife and plant resources and their habitats for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans.

Hungry Valley SVRA
Located in the Tejon Pass north of Los Angeles and along the Interstate 5 corridor, Hungry Valley offers 19,000 acres and more than 130 miles of scenic trails for motorcycle, All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV), dune buggies, and 4x4 recreation. All levels of OHV operator skills will be challenged by the wide variety of terrain and trails at Hungry Valley SVRA. Elevations at Hungry Valley range from 3,000 to nearly 6,000 feet. Occasional snowfalls occur during the winter. Summers are most often hot, dry and dusty. The most pleasant times of the year for OHV fun are during the Spring and Fall months when the temperatures are mild and occasional rain showers make for good traction and reduced dust. Nighttime temperatures often drop below freezing in the Spring and Fall, as well as during the Winter.The wide variety of trails at Hungry Valley provides excitement for both beginner and experienced off-roaders. For experienced OHVers challenging trails can be found in the hills and sand washes of the back- country section of the SVRA. Beginners can enjoy the scenery and relative ease of the trails in the Native Grasslands Management Area. Trails in the adjoining Los Padres National Forest are recommended for experienced riders only.Recreational Land ManagementProviding long-term, sustained OHV recreation opportunity is a top priority in SVRA Management. Provisions in California law require actions to stabilize soils and to provide for healthy wildlife populations in OHV recreation areas. Projects are ongoing to stabilize soil areas by reshaping slopes, reseeding and replanting bare areas. Vegetation creates wildlife habitat while plant roots help stabilize the soil. Project areas are temporarily closed to OHV use through the use of barriers, such as fences, hay bales, brush piles and signing. Where possible, well-designed OHV trails are provided through project areas. Other project areas may be closed for a number of years before being opened again for OHV use. Your understanding and support in staying out of areas closed for restoration helps ensure OHV recreation opportunities for years to come. Where to get help The State Park Rangers who patrol Hungry Valley SVRA are peace officers, who are trained Emergency Medical Responders. Entrance station employees and park maintenance personnel can also summon medical help.
