The deadline for applications for PLT’s second round of funding for this year is October 31, 2008. Visit http://www.plt.org/cms/pages/21_22_18.html for grant guidelines, and an application.
Schools, youth organizations, and other groups may apply online for a grant to implement a “learning-by-doing” environmental project that:
- partners PLT educators and their students with local businesses or community organizations
- combines academics with community service
- engages elementary through college-age students in active learning about the environment
- provides opportunities for student leadership.
.
Sample projects include, but are not limited to, outdoor classrooms and gardens, habitat restoration, watershed improvement, energy conservation. To view a list of the GreenWorks! projects previously funded, visit www.plt.org
