New Critical Habitat License Plates – You Choose

Chickadee License Plate Option

The DNR is releasing new critical habitat license plates this year. You can see all the options and vote for your favorites on their website.

I really like the current design, however if new designs get more people to purchase a critical habitat plate I’m all for the change.

Where does a the money go?

“The DNR has purchased nearly 9,000 acres of land with the license plate funds and all of these acres are designated as a State Wildlife Management Area, State Forest, Aquatic Management Area, or Scientific and Natural Area.  All of these acquired lands are open for the public to enjoy and nearly 7,000 of the 9,000 acres are open to public hunting.”

Examples include:

“The 360-acre Mule Lake Wildlife Management Area in Cass County, Pine Bend Bluffs SNA in Rosemount and 1.9 miles of shoreline in Crow Wing County”
