Native Plant Education Projects
Posted by Wild Ones on March 16, 2015
Wild Ones, a nonprofit environmental education and advocacy organization, is accepting applications from projects designed to enhance and develop an appreciation for nature using native plants.
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. In addition, local nurseries identified by Wild Ones will supply seeds, plants, and advice to grant recipients. 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, houses of worship, and nonprofit places of learning that focus on educating elementary through high school students in the United States are eligible. Qualified applicants must have a site available for the project.
Visit the Wild Ones website for complete program guidelines and application instructions.
DEADLINE: OCTOBER 15, 2015
