The new Bison Stamp is nearly here — RELEASE DATE MAY 25TH.

“This bull had his head up as he looked around for some of his friends during the rut,” says wildlife photographer Tom Murphy of the bison featured on the upcoming USPS stamp. “Mostly, buffalo are looking down, grazing.”

That fleeting moment — a powerful glance across the prairie — became the inspiration for a new Forever Stamp honoring the American bison and its remarkable conservation story.

The wait is almost over and we hope you're as excited as we are! Check out the news release from USPS: https://www.stampsforever.com/stories/for-the-usps-american-bison-stamp-whats-old-is-new-again?pk=fdbb8b0eb9d6e504a220382fdd053f938f02970709468c40ccb55f4b4b08cddc
