BC Parks Plates are So Fetch, They're Bankrolling Nature 💅🤑

Spilling the Tea

Alright besties, listen up! Apparently, these scenic BC Parks license plates are the real deal. Like, they're not just a flex for your ride, they're actually funding a whole glow-up for the parks. We're talking serious cash, y'all.

From April '23 to March '24, over 84,000 of these plates were snatched up. That's a 7% jump from last year! And since this whole thing started? Over 552,000 plates have been sold, raking in over $54 million. Straight up, that's a lot of moolah.

So, where's all this skrilla going? Glad you asked! It's funding over 250 different projects. We're talking environmental enhancements, boujee visitor experiences, and even supporting First Nations initiatives. It's giving responsible queen energy, fr fr.

Wanna get into the deets? They're reviving the Taylor's checkerspot butterfly at Helliwell Park (saving the butterflies, period!), supporting the SNIDȻEȽ Resiliency Project at Gowlland Tod Park (healing the land!), copping adaptive mountain bikes (accessibility W!), and even supporting the Student Ranger Program (future lookin' bright!). Plus, their iNaturalist Program has logged over a million species. Nature is thriving, and it's all thanks to these plates.

The tea? It’s $50 to cop one of these plates, and $40 to renew it each year. It may sound like a lot but if you can afford it, that's a small price to pay to stunt on everyone and save the planet.
