AGFC, AEDC Open Applications for More Than $690,000 to Schools Through Conservation Education Grants
Hatch says one of the initiatives many schools have used grants for in the last year is to complete requirements for their application to be designated as an AGFC School of Conservation Leadership.
“We’ve had a groundswell of schools, from elementary through high school, joining the program and working with their students to complete their SoCL designation,” Hatch said. “They’ve used grants to build outdoor classrooms, purchase equipment and supplies to complete their required conservation projects, and even fund trips to nature centers and our annual Generation Conservation Summit. We’re always looking for creative ways to get kids more involved in the outdoors, and some of the best sparks of inspiration have come from the teachers who apply for these grants.”
