Want to teach people about nature, create community partnerships or foster leaders to connect people with water quality, fish and wildlife habitat in the Portland metropolitan area? Do you need funding to make your idea a reality? You have one week left to apply for Metro’s Nature in Neighborhoods conservation education grants.
Small grants up to $25,000 and large grants up to $100,000 will support partnerships that link communities with nature. A wide variety of projects can fit the bill, from nature education for school-aged children in local natural areas to job skill development for nature-based careers to implementation of region-wide conservation education initiatives. Wherever you live, you can bring people closer to the natural world.
