Special Fund Registration Plates

The Wild Resource Conservation Fund (WRCF) was established to give Pennsylvanians the opportunity to support the management of our wild resources. These include protected wildlife, which describes all forms of wildlife that are not pursued by hunters, fur takers, or anglers. The number of birds, animals, fish, reptiles, and amphibians in this protected wildlife category class represents 80% of all wildlife in PA. The WRCF Act includes native wild plants. The administration of the WRCF is by an unpaid seven-member Board and a volunteer 10-member advisory committee appointed by the Board. The Wild Resource Conservation Board has the responsibility of selecting studies and projects recommended by the state's resource agencies, Department of Conservation & Natural Resources, PA Fish & Boat Commission, and PA Game Commission. Through generous donations the following are some of the projects funded: re-establish River Otter, reintroduce Osprey, a computer database of endangered & threatened species of PA, research on endangered & threatened amphibians and reptiles of PA, numerous educational booklets and documentary videos. The WRCF is funded entirely by donated refunds from the state tax check-off, direct contributions, and from the sale of the registration plate.
