| 0:00.0 | What is up everybody? We have 10 minutes to talk to our good friend Sam Solholt, who's a big bus driver guy, he's a big van guy, and he's also a big conservation guy. |
| 0:09.7 | And we're going to talk to him a little bit about his Stamp it Forward program that has to do with the migratory bird and conservation stamp, otherwise known as the Duck Stamp Act commonly referred to. Sam, you've kind of, I guess, gotten into, |
| 0:26.0 | well, we'll just say it, stamping it forward. |
| 0:27.6 | Tell us about the program and anything that revolves around it |

| 1:13.5 | And then $5 from every item we sell also goes back into conservation. |
| 1:18.2 | So we kind of just kind of try to keep the train rolling and |
| 1:21.4 | generating as much money as possible because the more stamps we buy, |
| 1:24.6 | the more money is funneled into protecting both public lands, wetlands, and increasing habitat, |
