Available since 1999, the Blackstone Valley Mill plate represents the working rivers at the heart of the American Industrial Revolution. It's a reminder that restoring urban rivers and streams matters just as much as protecting whales and wilderness.

One application. More ways to help communities get climate projects done.

With ECO One Stop, we brought environmental funding together to make it easier for communities to find the support that fits their needs.

And communities responded. Our first round of ECO One Stop grants invested $45 million for 97 projects across Massachusetts, including nearly $1.7 million to protect City of Salem’s Winter Island from coastal erosion.

Families and businesses need energy that’s affordable, reliable, and available when they need it.

That’s why Massachusetts is taking an all-of-the-above approach — including advanced nuclear and fusion.

We have the talent and innovation to lead, so we’re bringing New England governors together to explore nuclear’s role in our energy future.

When you purchase a Preserve the Trust license plate, you are directly contributing to important conservation work like this. The Marine Animal Rescue and Response team at Whale and Dolphin Conservation North America responds to stranded whales, dolphins, and seals along the Massachusetts coast. From emergency response to disentanglement, this team is often the difference between life and death for a marine mammal in crisis.

This is what your plate purchase helps make possible. Get yours today: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/get-an-environmental-trust-license-plate

What does climate resilience look like?

In Massachusetts, it can look like replacing an undersized culvert, restoring a salt marsh, or protecting a beloved waterfront from coastal erosion.

Through ECO One Stop, we’re investing more than $45 million for 97 projects across Massachusetts to support local solutions that help communities prepare for climate change and protect the places that make our state special.
