STAMP ANNOUNCEMENT 06-36
Southern Florida Wetland Stamps
The Postal ServiceTM will issue a commemorative sheet
of the 39-cent Southern Florida Wetland stamps in 10 designs (Item 567400) on October 4, 2006, at the Naples Zoo
and Caribbean Gardens in Naples, Florida.
The stamps designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda,
Maryland, and illustrated by John D. Dawson of Hilo,
Hawaii, go on sale nationwide on October 5, 2006. This
$3.90 commemorative sheet may not be split, and the
stamps may not be sold individually.
A $7.95 stamped postal cards set of 10 in 10 designs
(Item 885300), will also be available.
The Southern Florida Wetland stamps are the eighth in
the Nature of America series designed to promote appreciation of major plant and animal communities in the United
States. The previous issuances in the series were Northeast Deciduous Forest (2005), Pacific Coral Reef (2004),
Arctic Tundra (2003), Longleaf Pine Forest (2002), Great
Plains Prairie (2001), Pacific Coast Rain Forest (2000), and
Sonoran Desert (1999).
The subtropical wetlands of southern Florida are remnants of a great wilderness that stretched, unbroken, for
hundreds of miles until about a century ago. They still
include some of the most extensive saw grass marshes
and mangrove swamps in the world - wetlands that support a remarkable number of species.
In southern Florida, plants and animals are well adapted
to water-level changes that correspond to alternating wet
and dry seasons. Although some species require freshwater habitats, others are more salt tolerant. This stamp pane
depicts a wetland community where freshwater mingles
with salt water along the coast, and thus the art includes
both freshwater and coastal species.
How to Order First Day of Issue Postmark
Customers have 30 days to obtain the first day of issue
postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their
local Post OfficeTM, by telephone at 800-STAMP-24, and at
The Postal Store Web site at www.usps.com/shop. They
should affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address the envelopes (to themselves or others), and place
them in a larger envelope addressed to:
SOUTHERN FLORIDA WETLAND STAMPS
POSTMASTER
NAPLES MAIN POST OFFICE
1200 GOODLETTE RD N

After applying the first day of issue postmark, the Postal
Service will return the envelopes through the mail. There is
