Georgia's Appalachian Trail License Plate
The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is looking for 1,000 people to apply for their specialty plate in Georgia.
As of August 25th, 2009, the ATC had received 374 applications. Once the ATC has received 1,000 applications it will submit one check to the state of Georgia in the amount of $25,000 to cover all the manufacturing fees and all the applications for the proposed license plate allowing the state to begin production of the new license plates.
As a special "Thank You" if you are one of the first 1,000 applicants you will receive a free one year membership to the ATC, and if you are already a member the ATC will offer you a gift membership for a friend or family member.
Money from the sale of Appalachian Trail license plates will be revenue shared with the ATC, and it will go to AT trail projects within Georgia. The projects will include: trail and facilities maintenance, scenic easements and view preservation, environmental monitoring, increased public information, and education and outreach to Georgia residents.
