Are you a hiker? Do you love the Appalachian Trail (AT)? Well, now you can show it by displaying the new, Georgia AT license plate. Georgia has joined North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia in the approval and offering of these plates. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) is working with the state of Georgia to produce these plates, with the goal of generating significant revenue dedicated to the trail. In North Carolina alone, nearly $335,000 has been raised through this program.
This is not a done deal, however. The ATC needs to receive 1,000 applications, along with $25 per application to cover manufacturing costs, in order to initiate production. If there are an insufficient number of applicants, with a cutoff date of April 14, 2011, the ATC will have to resign from this program and return all applicants’ money. What can you do to help, and get one of these nifty plates? Simply go to the ATC’s webpage for license plates, www.appalachiantrail.org/licenseplates, click Georgia, and download the application. Once you have that plate on your vehicle the world will know you are a supporter of the AT. Show your pride, and your kindness.
