The state Department of Natural Resources unveiled three new license plates Thursday to benefit conservation efforts across Georgia.
The three designs boast color images across the entire face of the plate, including a soaring bald eagle, a grouping of bobwhite quail, deer and wild turkey and a brook trout rising to a fly. To see samples, click on www.georgiawildlife.com.
They replace existing specialty tags that also benefited state conservation efforts. The tags being phased out include those with an eagle and United States flag; a hummingbird; deer and quail; and the Trout Unlimited logo.
The new plates are available for an initial cost of $80, including manufacturing, plate and registration fees, plus additional ad valorem tax if required. Annual renewals are available for $55, including plate and registration fees, plus additional ad valorem tax if required.
Proceeds from the plates benefit the DNR’s Wildlife Resources Division, which sponsors programs that protect endangered wildlife, preserve wildlife habitat and protects and restores trout fisheries.
The designs, solicited from artists nationwide, were picked by more than 18,000 people who voted in an online contest.
