The Chesapeake Bay Trust is now accepting applications for its K-12 Environmental Education Grant Program.  Applications are due August 7.

The grant program provides funding to schools and other agencies for pre-K-12 environmental education to educate students about local watersheds and how they can become environmental stewards and make a difference in watershed health.

The program supports meaningful outdoor learning experiences around a watershed issue investigation including field trips, fieldwork, student-led action projects and schoolyard habitat projects as well as building teacher capacity to implement environmental education including professional development trainings and programs to advance environmental literacy in the Chesapeake Bay region. 

Schools, non-profit organizations, community organizations and faith-based organizations are among those who can apply. Grants are awarded up to $5,000 each.
