NH Division of Historical Resources Restores The Frost Place in Franconia

Grants from the NH Division of Historical Resources help fund the conservation and preservation of significant publicly owned historic resources or artifacts that contribute to New Hampshire’s history and cultural heritage—including this building in Franconia, once a year-round home to iconic writer Robert Frost.

The Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program Reevaluates Endangered Species

Our friends at the NH Fish and Game’s Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program frequently conduct analysis to determine the highest-priority conservation objectives, compiling data as part of a revised New Hampshire State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP). This project began with reevaluating animals listed as species of greatest conservation need (SGCN), including threatened and endangered wildlife such as the Canada lynx.

LCHIP Preserves A Historic 19th Century Example of Queen Anne Architecture in Littleton

The historic Carriage House Annex to the Littleton Community Center is one of many recipients of historic preservation efforts spearheaded by the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program. This three-story wood-frame house stands as an example of high-style Queen Anne architecture, with interiors featuring Victorian glazed tiles and ornate wooden detailing.

Identifying Old Forests as Crucial Sources of Biodiversity & Cultural Values

This winter, the National Heritage Bureau frequented Mt. Sunapee to find old forests—which comprise less than 0.001% of our state’s forests. These forests are important to protect due to their high rates of carbon storage compared to younger forests, as well as for their biodiversity and cultural values. Through historic research, field visits, and desktop reconnaissance—and tree coring, an important method for understanding forest age—the team determined key areas on the landscape where old forests may occur.

Completing the Sawyer Brook Headwaters Project with ASLPT

The Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust, with support from a NH State Conservation Committee Moose Plate grant, completed the Sawyer Brook Headwaters project, protecting 385-acres in the Town of Grantham. The protected land includes forestry, wetlands, and valuable wildlife habitat, and will allow for recreational public access.

Can I have a Vanity Moose Plate?

You can change your Standard Issue Plate to a Moose Plate when you re-register your vehicle. Just go to your municipal office as you normally do to register or reregister your car and fill out the “Application for Vanity Plates” form. This form will provide you with the option to buy a new Moose Plate as a Vanity Plate. You will be able to put down several combinations for the Vanity Plate you want and the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles will search its database to see if any of those combinations already exist on a currently registered New Hampshire license plate. If your Vanity Plate combination is available, you will receive a new Vanity Moose Plate within 2-3 weeks. You may receive a temporary paper license plate in the meantime.

All Vanity Moose Plates are charged both the $30 Moose Plate fee and the $40 Vanity Plate fee each year. That means that a Vanity Moose Plate will cost you $70 a year. (When you first purchase the plate you will also be charged the standard $8 reflectorized license plate fee, for a total of $78.) This is in addition to the annual vehicle registration fee set by your town or city (this fee varies and is based on your vehicle’s weight and the number of months for which you are registering the vehicle), and the standard state registration fee. Please note that the fees for a Vanity Plate are now prorated. Please see the chart below for the monthly Vanity Plate fee.
