Don't forget to get your Mesa Verde National Park license plate before the summer kicks off! All Colorado residents who make a one-time $30 minimum donation to the Mesa Verde Foundation will be eligible to purchase a set (front & back) of Mesa Verde National Park license plates – both front and back! All license plate proceeds will directly benefit the Mesa Verde National Park. Your donation will help with capital improvements, special projects and educational endeavors that promote an understanding of the cultural and natural resources of the Park. Your donation will also help to celebrate and recognize one of the premiere archeological sites in the world, and one of the main attractions for the southwest region. To apply to get your own plates, visit https://www.mesaverdefoundation.org/about/ We hope you'll get yours soon! (fb)
