Wisconsin Environmental Education Board
announces grant program
The Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB), located at
the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, is seeking proposals
for the 2009-2010 grant cycle. The Board anticipates awarding
$85,000 for general environmental education grants, $190,000
for forestry grants, $190,000 for school forest grants, and
$38,000 for energy education grants.
Projects must be designed for Wisconsin residents (any age) and
assist learners in achieving the goals of environmental education.
Public and nonpublic educational institutions, all units of government,
and corporations (nonprofit, non-stock) are eligible for WEEB
grants.
Initiated in 1990, 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.”
Proposals are due February 14, 2009. For an application packet

specialist, 715-346-3805 or e-mail:
