Pennsylvania Appalachian Trail Conservancy License Plate

Virginia's Appalachian Trail License Plate 

Calling all Pennsylvania Appalachian Trail enthusiasts!  Many of you know that we have been trying for a number of years to get a specialty license plate to support ATC here in PA. We're finally making progress. Representative Adolph Delaware County District 165 has drafted the bill to allow the creation of the plate.

We REALLY need you help on this and ask that you contact your state representative and ask them to consider signing on as a co-sponsor to Representative Adolph's bill. You can find rep's name and contact info by selecting your county, then your municipality here:

North Carolina's A.T. License Plate

ATC has benefited greatly from similar license plate efforts in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, PLEASE take a moment to contact your state legislator and ask him or her to co-sponsor rep Adolph's bill! Thanks!


Below is a copy of the memo that was sent to each state house rep:

Posted:	February 1, 2013 09:30 AM
From:	Representative William Adolph
To:	All House members
Subject:	Appalachian Trail Conservancy Special Registration Plate
Memo:	Next week I will be introducing legislation that will establish a unique and distinctive Special Registration Plate in support of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. This legislation also provides for organization registration plate application forms to be exclusively distributed directly from the organization that benefits from the registration plate. This provision will allow each organization to administer and benefit directly from any fee charged to obtain a special registration plate from that organization. Additionally, for the first time, an individual may have that special organizational registration plate personalized. The fee to PennDOT for the plate will be $20.00 and the fee to have the same personalized will be $300.00. There will be no cost to the Motor License Fund and the fee established to personalize the plate may generate additional monies for the MLF. Please join me in this effort to help the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.

Findings from Statewide Survey shows overwhelming support for Conservation Funding

Attention state legislators!  Results from a recent survey conducted by the Center for Survey Research at Penn State Harrisburg, The Nature Conservancy and The Trust for Public Land indicated overwhelming public support throughout the state for both continuing existing dedicated state funding for conservation as well as increasing state funding for land and water conservation, even if that means a small increase in taxes.

Read the full Executive Summary of the Survey Findings here.

Overall, the results of the survey show that Pennsylvania residents clearly value the state’s natural resources.
