New Hampshire Conservation Heritage

This plate costs an additional $30 per year, which funds projects such as wildlife habitat preservation, historic landmark restoration, support for local arts, and the preservation of New Hampshire’s natural resources.

The plate features a moose on the left side and a small stacked “C/H” prefix before the serial number, representing Conservation/Heritage. The original series used three numbers followed by the letter C, running from 100C through 999C. A fourth digit was then added, extending the sequence from 1000C through 9999C. After that, the letter shifted position through a series of formats: 100C0 through 999C9, then 10C00 through 99C99, then 1C000 through 9C999, and finally C1000 through C9999. The letter then changed to H, and the sequence restarted, running from 1000H through H9999. The series then began again using the letter P, then the letter M. In early 2026, the letter W was introduced, and early sightings confirm this series began with a 0 rather than a 1 (presumably beginning at 0100W).

The letters stand for:

C-Conservation
H-Heritage
P-Preservation
M-Moose
W-Wildlife (?)
