The Department of Education is now accepting applications for the “Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences” Grant Program from schools by March.30.

MWEE grants were authorized in 2005 through legislation passed by Chesapeake Bay Commission member Rep. Pete Zug (R-Lebanon).

The program provides up to $3,000 to schools and other local partners to provide meaningful watershed or habitat educational experiences to students.

The application is available online and more information is available by contacting Patty Vathis, Environment and Ecology Advisor to PDE by sending email to pvathis@state.pa.us.
