Connect to the natural beauty of the winter season and celebrate four species that make their homes in the woodlands of North America. Among the most familiar of wildlife, deer, rabbits, owls and foxes are found across much of the American landscape. This booklet of 20 stamps features graphic illustrations of these four animals in different woodland settings in winter. Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamps with Katie Kirk, who illustrated the stamps.

Just five minutes before the first-day ceremony was to begin, part of the floor collapsed in the 186-year-old building, forcing the ceremony outside. No one was injured in the mishap. The building, built originally as Woodland, Michigan’s town hall, is undergoing renovation to become a museum. Some of the floors had alredy been replaced. At present, the “Woodland Township Hall” has no heat or restrooms.Linn’s Stamp News editor-in-chief Jay Bigalke anchored the event. Cachetmaker and stamp collector Denise Lazaroff recognized her 96-year-old aunt, Virginia Decker, who was in the audience. She was born in Woodland and lived most of her life in Lake Odessa until going into a senior residence nearby.
