The CleanWater Conservancy announced it has grants available to schools to send students to the Millbrook Marsh Nature Center for outdoor environmental education programs. The grants were made possible with the support of the Dominion Educational Partnership, State of the Art and the State College Kiwanis.

The application deadline for Spring 2007 is March 9 (disregard the February deadline on the application).

Since 1997, ClearWater Conservancy Connections Program has been providing students in schools throughout Centre County with the opportunity for hands-on learning through outdoor watershed education. Each year, between 1,000 and 1,500 students have visited places like Millbrook Marsh Nature Center, Bald Eagle State Park, and Fisherman’s Paradise for a day packed with information and fun.
