This workshop will reveal available grants and teach educators how to apply for funding to support integrating place-based environmental education in the classroom and covering the costs for field trips and stewardship projects. We will provide information on grant opportunities that are available and focus on how to apply for funding independently and in partnership with environmental education nonprofits, higher education community programs, and/or state entities.
