The Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB),
located at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, will award 72 grants
worth more nearly $485,000. Projects comprise both statewide and grass roots
initiatives. These initiatives will enable the target audiences to obtain a
better understanding of and appreciation for both the built and natural
environments.
Public and nonpublic
educational institutions, all units of government, and corporations
(nonprofit, non-stock) are eligible for WEEB grants. Projects must be
designed for Wisconsin residents and assist learners in achieving the goals
of environmental education.
Assisting school
districts with the development of educational plans for their school forest
properties is a major focus of the 2006-2007 grant program. Twenty six
school districts across Wisconsin will receive funds for this purpose.
Initiated in 1990, the
WEEB�s mission is to �provide leadership in the development of learning
opportunities that empower Wisconsin citizens with the knowledge and skills
needed to make wise environmental decisions and take responsible actions in
their personal lives, work places, and communities.�
For more information
on the WEEB�s environmental education grant program, including future grant
opportunities, contact Administrative Specialist Ginny Carlton at (715)
346-3805. The email address is
