Protector of Indiana's Environment

About the Environmental Plate
By simply choosing the blue Indiana Heritage Trust Environmental Plate, you are doing your part to preserve Indiana’s natural heritage. All of the funds received from plate renewals are used for projects that protect the land, waters, and wildlife of Indiana – which means all Hoosiers can enjoy these natural treasures for generations to come.

Through the Indiana Heritage Trust, sales of the Environmental Plate have already saved 56,000 acres of Indiana’s natural heritage, including:

This translates into more areas Hoosiers can go:

  • Camping
  • Biking
  • Hunting
  • Fishing
  • Bird-watching
  • Trail-riding
  • Boating
  • And more!

Be a part of the effort to keep Indiana such a wonderful place to call home. When you renew, choose blue.

What is the connection between the Environmental Plate and Indiana Heritage Trust?
Simply, the Indiana Heritage Trust was launched in 1992 with a mission to conserve Indiana’s natural resources and habitats. As the very first specialty license plate in Indiana, the Environmental plate debuted in 1992 to help generate funding for the Indiana Heritage Trust. Since that time, funds from plate sales have helped protect numerous acres of Indiana’s land, waters and wildlife. LEARN MORE about the Indiana Heritage Trust.

How much does the Plate cost and how are the fees allocated?
The Environmental Plate costs $40, which includes a $15 BMV processing fee. The remaining $25 goes directly towards protection of Indiana’s land, waters and wildlife.

Can I donate funds without purchasing an Environmental Plate?
Absolutely! Private donations to the Indiana Heritage Trust are happily accepted at anytime. When you make a private donation, 100% of the funds go towards our preservation efforts. LEARN MORE about donations.
