On this episode of Home Starts Here, Kara Harders, SDSU Extension Community Vitality Field Specialist chats with South Dakota’s dynamic wildlife‑art father-daughter duo, Adam and Madison Grimm. Residents of Wallace, SD, a town of just 94 people. You’ll get the inside scoop on the Federal Duck Stamp art contest (from a 3 time winner), and how selling about 1.5 million stamps a year raises $40 million, with over 98% of that going straight into wildlife habitat conservation.
We also talk with Madison about her nonprofit, Second Chance Flight, which gives ducklings and eggs whose nests have been destroyed a second shot at life in the wild. From family roots to paintbrushes to prairie potholes, this episode is all about the intersection of art, nature, and purpose in rural South Dakota.
Come to the Duck Day event at Wallace, SD! August 9th 2025 in Wallace to Celebrate Adam’s win and attend a day of fun and/or bus tour!
