Nature Within Reach

The Bay Area license plate campaign needs 7,500 paid pledges to become a reality.

Funds generated by the license plate will be administered by the State Coastal Conservancy, a state agency that works with the people of California to protect and improve the coast and San Francisco Bay Area. The San Francisco Bay Area Conservancy Program has helped open hundreds of miles of trails to the public, restored thousands of acres of wetland, and preserved more than 70,000 acres of wildlife habitat, parks, and farmland. The Bay Area special license plate will help the Conservancy fund these types of projects for years to come.

For more information and to sign up, visit www.bayarealicenseplate.org
or call 1-877-4SF-BAY1.
