New License Plate will support Endangered Resources

The Endangered Resources Program is excited to introduce a new, second license plate that will be available for purchase in addition to the original wolf plate. The new plate helps showcase our work to protect Species of Greatest Conservation Need and their habitats. Voters around the state cast over 23,000 votes for their favorite design during the on-line poll which ran October 9-19th. The departments of Natural Resources and Transportation will use the survey results to help make a final decision on the new design. See the survey results...

The four images represent popular and recognizable species within the natural communities they inhabit:

• Wisconsin prairie with eastern bluebird and monarch butterfly
• Northern Wisconsin lake with great blue heron, white water-lily, and forest
• Wisconsin prairie and savanna with badger, meadowlark, and tiger swallowtail butterfly
• Wisconsin savanna with red-headed woodpecker, karner blue butterfly, and wild lupine
