Michigan’s wildlife habitat license plate now features the Kirtland’s warbler to celebrate this unique bird’s recovery.
In 2019, the Kirtland’s warbler was removed from the endangered species list. Ongoing efforts by the DNR and a multitude of partners have ensured nesting habitat is available, and will continue to be, for this songbird that nests only in young jack pine stands in Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario.
All proceeds from the sale of the wildlife habitat license plate support the Nongame Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund, and will benefit nongame species like the Kirtland’s warbler.
You can buy the wildlife habitat license plate through the Secretary of State for $35, with $25 of that fee going to the Nongame Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund. Since 2006, the fund has received more than $3.9 million from the purchase of wildlife habitat license plates.
