Purchase the Wildlife Sporting License Plate
If you’re a Colorado sportsperson, hunting and fishing is more than a hobby or pastime—it’s a way of life. It’s how you connect with nature and, just as important, connect with others who share your passion for Colorado’s wildlife and outdoor heritage. Unite with other hunters and anglers by purchasing a Wildlife Sporting Plate for your vehicle.
Add-on a donation when you purchase a license or product from CPW
When you purchase your fishing license, boat registration, state park pass, or trout trucker hat from our retail store you can add-on a donation to your purchase. Every dollar added-on we put to use supporting our wildlife and conservation efforts, state parks and outdoor recreation activities, and educational programs.
Help threatened and endangered wildlife by donating all or a portion of your tax refund to the “Colorado Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Fund.” Colorado is home to more than 750 species of wildlife that are categorized as “nongame” species - animals that are not hunted, fished or trapped. Your tax deductible donation supports rehabilitation and preservation of these species through Colorado Parks and Wildlife programs.
