Nature of Learning Grants Program

Deadline: June 16, 2008

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation give grants to organizations to start or expand Nature of Learning programs in their communities. Grants support start-up expenses associated with new programs and offer continued support to existing Nature of Learning programs. Nature of Learning is the National Wildlife Refuge System's community-based environmental education initiative that seeks to use National Wildlife Refuges as outdoor classrooms to promote greater understanding of local conservation issues; encourage interdisciplinary approaches to learning that enhance student academic achievement; use field experiences and student-led stewardship projects to connect classroom lessons to real world issues; and, partner local schools, community groups, natural resource professionals and local businesses.
