Conservation license plates

Nebraska Game and Parks offers five specialty license plates, available at the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. These funds support conservation of Nebraska’s at-risk, threatened and endangered species, trail maintenance in Nebraska’s state parks and youth education programs relating to Nebraska wildlife conservation practices.

Wildlife conservation plates

Three new plate designs featuring a bighorn sheep, sandhill crane and ornate box turtle will benefit the Wildlife Conservation Fund. The fund supports conservation of at-risk, threatened and endangered species in Nebraska. Wildlife Conservation Fund dollars are matched with other grants, so a dollar donated becomes 4 dollars for helping wildlife.

Each plate will be $5 or $40 for a specialty plate. The entire $5 fee goes directly to the Wildlife Conservation Fund; of the $40 fee, $30 goes to the conservation fund and $10 goes to the DMV Cash Fund.
