SUMMARY:Federal Duck Stamp Contest Winner
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service selects a winning duck stamp for the following year from some 200 contestants. The winning duck stamp artist becomes somewhat of a celebrity\, and\, J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island has the honor of hosting an appearance by the winner each year. Proceeds from the duck stamp program have purchased six million acres of wetlands as preserved habitat in its 90 years of existence. \nNamed for the man responsible for creating the Federal Duck Stamp program\, the refuge\, with support from the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge (DDWS)\, schedules the artist’s appearance to coincide with Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling’s mid-October birthday. This year\, 2024-2025 Federal Duck Stamp Contest winner Chuck Black will make his appearance at “Ding” Darling on Thursday\, Oct. 24\, for a free 1 p.m. talk open to the public. \nA stamp-signing opportunity will follow his presentation. The stamp is currently for sale in the Refuge Nature Store. \nThe Montana artist worked as a wildlife biologist for seven years before devoting himself to his first love – wildlife art. His wins for the California and Colorado state duck stamp contests led to his decision to paint full-time.

SUMMARY:Estate Planning 101
DESCRIPTION:Representatives from three local legal\, tax accounting\, and financial advisory firms will team up with the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society-Friends of the Refuge (DDWS) on Tuesday\, Jan. 30\, for a free Estate Planning 101 panel presentation at the “Ding” Darling Visitor & Education Center from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. with free continental breakfast provided by DDWS. \nSanibel wills\, trusts\, and estate planning attorney Janet Strickland; Trevor Swartz and Jack Thomas\, managing directors and partners at HighTower Advisors/Thomas and Swartz Wealth Management; and a local certified public account to be announced will present information about the importance of estate planning and how to get started with the process. After the presentation\, attendees will have time to meet individually with the speakers to ask questions. \n“We see this free ‘class’ as providing a valuable public service and giving attendees insights\, guidance\, and tools to help them plan their estate or develop questions for their own advisors and family members\,” said DDWS executive director Ann-Marie Wildman. “It provides a means to take that first step for those who haven’t already done so and may feel overwhelmed with the process.” \nAttendance is free but limited on a first-come basis. Attendees need not be members of DDWS or intending to include it in their will. For more information\, contact DDWS at 239-789-8991.

SUMMARY:(REFUGE) Art In The Wild
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge hosts the winning duck stamp artist in October to celebrate National Wildlife Refuge and the birthday of the refuge’s namesake\, the very first duck stamp artist in 1935. Artist-cartoonist Jay Norwood “Ding” Darling\, in fact\, is largely responsible for the Federal Duck Stamp Program\, which has purchased six million acres of now-protected wetlands since its inception. \nJames Hautman is the only federal duck stamp artist to have taken first place six times\, most recently in 2021 during the 2022-2023 Federal Duck Stamp Contest. Considering that more than 100 typically compete each year in the contest\, and that winners are not allowed to compete for the next three years\, Hautman’s accomplishment has made a hallowed name for him in wildlife art circles. He and his two brothers\, Joseph and Robert — also multiple duck stamp contest winners — even made the script for the 1996 hit comedic movie Fargo. \nREAD MORE
