Tennessee Appalachian Trail Conference Tags

This is cool.

A new Tennessee specialty plate that would help support maintenance of the Appalachian Trail is one step closer to reality.

The plate received approval from the Tennessee General Assembly, but supporters now have one year to sell 1,000 of the plates in order to support initial production.

“This will be a major resource generator for years to come and a great benefit to the trail,” said Ed Montgomery, a volunteer with the Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club (TEHCC).

It would be nice if all the states along the trail did this.

Applications and more information on obtaining an Appalachian Trail specialty plate are available at www.appalachiantrail.org/tnlicenseplate or by calling the ATC regional office in Asheville, N.C., at (828) 254-3708. The first 1,000 applicants will also receive a one-time annual membership to the ATC once the plates go into production.
