Celebrate Conservation Plate Appreciation Day on Sunday and express our gratitude to all those who contribute to preserving more of Maine to enjoy today and for future generations, every day.

If you are inclined to purchase and sport a specialty license plate on your vehicle, here’s the link to make it the nationally admired and famous Loon/Conservation plate.

You can also join the cause by visiting the Bureau of Motor Vehicles or stop by your local town office.  The extra cost is $20. Of that, $8.40 goes to the Bureau of Parks and Lands, $5.60 goes to Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, the remaining $6 goes to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
