Wildlife License Plates

In 1992, the Idaho Legislature passed a wildlife license plate bill that allowed a portion of the wildlife license plate proceeds to benefit the Idaho Department of Fish and Game's Nongame Wildlife Program.

Wildlife License Plate
The Nongame Program receives $25 from the purchase of a new bluebird plate, and $15 from each annual renewal of plates. The elk and trout plates bring in a slightly less amount as other programs are also supported by these plates. This critical plate program provides a majority of the Nongame budget, helping fund many nongame and watchable wildlife projects and activities throughout Idaho.

The number of Americans participating in wildlife-associated education and recreation activities such as birdwatching, wildlife photography, and birdfeeding continues to rise annually. However, while this constituency rapidly grows, the problem of how to adequately fund the Nongame Program and meet ever-increasing demands continues. Please continue to support Idaho's Nongame programs through the income tax checkoff and the wildlife license plates.
