Sisters artist honored

Sisters Country artist Rod Frederick won the ODFW Habitat Conservation Stamp Art Contest with his painting of a kit fox in the desert.

He will receive $3,000, and the painting will be used to produce a 2013 collector stamp and other promotional items to benefit Oregon's native species and habitats.

A total of 47 entries were received, each depicting a mammal identified in the Oregon Conservation or Oregon Nearshore strategies. Photographs of all entries are posted in the Conservation section of ODFW's website at www.dfw.state.or.us/conservationstrategy/habitat_conservation_stamp.asp.
