"Conserve Wildlife" License Plate

About the Design

The "Conserve Wildlife" license plate was designed by free-lance artist Peggy Perkerson. If you've seen the Florida Panther license plate, you are familiar with the quality of her work. Ms. Perkerson re-designed the panther plate in 1993.

The design of the "Conserve Wildlife" plate features a standing black bear on the left side of the plate, surrounded by palmettos and saw grass. A snowy egret is depicted in flight over the bear's shoulder.

The Florida black bear is an ideal symbol of the many species that will benefit from your purchase of a "Conserve Wildlife" license plate. As a wide-ranging omnivore, the black bear utilizes many different habitats throughout Florida. Key strongholds for the black bear are found in areas stretching from the Panhandle's Eglin Air Force Base and Apalachicola region, to the Osceola and Ocala regions in north and central Florida, down to the Big Cypress in south Florida.
