Funding
In 2005 the General Assembly appropriated $2 million for the Indiana Heritage Trust over the next biennium for the first time since 1999! While plate sales are trending down, the Indiana Heritage Trust Environmental License plate is still the top selling affinity plate in the State.
General Assembly appropriations, Environmental License Plate sales and additional donations from patrons like you are the three ways we’ve been able to protect over 45,000 acres since the programs inception.
As urban sprawl continues, and Indiana’s natural heritage is less and less available, our mission to protect land for wildlife and recreation becomes more critical.
That's why it's now more important than ever for Hoosiers to buy Environmental License Plates. Without this income, the Indiana Heritage Trust will no longer be able to purchase land for future parks, nature preserves, fishing and hunting areas, and so forth.
Please do your part. For each plate a Hoosier purchases, the Indiana Heritage Trust receives $25. Additionally, each dollar spent on an Environmental License Plate gets leveraged and matched by not-for-profit partners or governmental entities and comes back as a $5 dollar bill used for preserving Indiana's natural resources.
Please do your part. Buy an Environmental License Plate, and urge others to follow suit.
