Wild Ones Invites Applications for Native Plant Education Projects
DEADLINE: OCTOBER 15, 2014
Wild Ones, a nonprofit environmental education and advocacy organization, is accepting applications from projects designed to strengthen an appreciation for nature in young people.
Through the Lorrie Otto Seeds for Education Fund, grants of up to $500 will be awarded for projects that emphasize the involvement of students and volunteers in all phases of development. Examples of appropriate projects include the establishment of a native plant community in an educational setting such as an outdoor classroom, developing and maintaining an interpretive trail landscaped with native plant communities, and/or developing a wetland area to study the effect of native vegetation on water-quality improvement.
Schools, nature centers, and other nonprofit places of learning that focus on educating elementary through high school students in the United States, including houses of worship are eligible. Qualified applicants must have a site available for the project.
Visit the Wild Ones Web site for complete program guidelines and application instructions.
