Loon Conservation License Plates

$7 Million and Counting!
Thanks to the generosity and support of Maine motorists, more than $7 million has been invested by the Department of Conservation's Bureau of Parks and Lands and the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife since the loon conservation license plate fund was established in 1993.

Currently, one in nine passenger vehicles in Maine sports a Loon Plate.

The Loon Plates Are Here To Stay
There's been a lot of confusion lately, especially since the issuing of the "chickadee" plate in July, 1999. Rest assured, the attractive loon plates are here to stay. In fact, due to the loon plate's popularity, The Bureau of Motor Vehicles is expanding the availability!

Now available are disability, motor home, trailer, and commercial loon plates. Ask for one the next time you register your vehicle at a town hall or motor vehicle office.
