ORLANDO, Fla. — A new specialty plate supporting Florida’s gopher tortoise is now available for purchase, and it is for a good cause.
Wildlands Conservation unveiled the design of the gopher tortoise license plate, and the goal is to support conservation, education, and habitat management.
The gopher tortoise is a threatened species in our state because they are losing their upland habitat.
Funds from the specialty license plate will help preserve the gopher tortoise habitat and conduct research to find alternative ways to protect the species.
