Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp
Buying an Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp is a meaningful way that you can help Ohio’s wildlife and the habitat they call home. For $15 you’ll receive an attractive collectible stamp, window cling, and commemorative card. Proceeds from the stamp go into the Endangered Species and Wildlife Diversity Fund.
Conservation & sportsman's license plates
The Division of Wildlife offers two diversity and four sportsman's license plates from which to choose. Your purchase of a wildlife license plate supports the Division's conservation efforts. Visit the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles Online System for purchasing options.
Tax check-off program
Ohio's natural areas and endangered wildlife income tax checkoff programs have fostered the return of bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and trumpeter swans to the state's skies. Donations made through simple checkmarks on the state income tax form help ODNR protect natural areas and scenic rivers, reintroduce endangered wildlife, and preserve wetland habitat.
