Environmental Education grants

Once again the Coulee Region Sierra Club will offer grants of up to $200 for environmental education projects involving young people at the elementary or middle school level or in a community organization. 

The local group, in keeping with the Sierra Club's purpose of exploring, protecting, and enjoying our environment, invites teachers or leaders in all areas of study, as well as youth group advisors, to involve tomorrow's decision-makers in making their world a better place in some small way. 

Projects must:

• Provide hands-on experience for students to learn about and explore our environment
• Do something to promote a world which allows all life forms to live and prosper
• Show students that they can make a difference in their environment, whether urban or rural
• Be completed within the 2017-2018 school year. A follow up report will be due upon completion of the project

Project may:

• Consist of environmental displays or other creative works
• Benefit the land, water, air, plants, animals, and/or birds
• Be a new project with lasting value or the potential for ongoing activity

Applications are due January 5, 2018 via email: maureen[at]johnsflaherty[dot]com. Grant recipients will be notified shortly thereafter.
