But we need your help to make this concept a reality! With 10,000 votes, the LEGO® Ideas Group will give this mallard design an official review. Share the word! Let’s continue building conservation brick by brick! ➡️ducks.org/brickbybrick @LEGO_Group

“I think you eliminate the (college) bowls…nobody wants to play in them. Don’t play bowls. Just have the 12-team (playoff) and we’ll get excited about those. If you want to add a few more.” -Kirk Herbstreit on college football bowl season.






"Dream Big, Dream Often, and Dream in Color." Those were the words of Jerome Ford, @USFWS Assistant Director, Migratory Bird Program (@USFWSBirds), as he addressed, motivated, and inspired the students of the Tuskegee University chapter of Ducks Unlimited. The night marked a historic moment for the organization, as the Tuskegee Red Tails became the first-ever HBCU chapter to hold a DU event. The night also included recognition of the Federal Duck Stamp program as stamps were given to each attendee, courtesy of Sam Soholt, @PublicLandTees, and the Stamp it Forward project. Special thanks to the Alabama DU family for supporting the event and honoring the students' courage and passion for wetland and wildlife conservation.
