The 2007 Wildlife Habitat Trust stamp

The Wildlife Habitat Trust has commissioned the famous American wildlife artist Barry Van Dusen (www.barryvandusen.com) to produce this year’s Wildlife Habitat stamp artwork ‘Gadwall on the Ouse Washes’

‘Gadwall on the Ouse washes’ will be launched at the CLA Game Fair on Friday 27th July, at the Wildlife Habitat Trust area of the BASC Stand. The £5 stamp and Limited Edition prints taken from the original artwork will be available for sale from the Friday onwards, so don’t miss out – come to see us and buy early!

The Wildlife Habitat Trust stand will also be hosting its Annual Art Exhibition and original artwork and prints will be on sale over the three days. Barry Van Dusen will be working on stand throughout the fair, as will previous stamp artists Julian Novorol and Darren Rees.

Alan Jarrett is launching his new book at the CLA and he will also be located on the Wildlife Habitat Trust stand. Alan generously donates a percentage of the money raised from the sales of his books to the WHT.

The WHT has proved to be very successful over the past 20 years – especially helping wildfowling clubs buy land. The Trust has provided loans totalling more than £650,000 to enable shooters to buy just over 3,000 acres of land valued at over £1.5M. The WHT has also given over £84,000 in grants for conservation projects and £48,000 for the purchase of sporting rights. The need to buy land for shooting and conservation continues to be very important, so please visit the WHT Stand at the CLA Game Fair and support shooting.
