The program aims to simplify the grant application process for educators and foster hands-on, nature-based learning by supporting the creation of pollinator gardens, outdoor classrooms, native plantings, trails, ponds, and citizen science stations. Projects must integrate with school curricula, involve a team approach, and demonstrate administrative support and sustainability planning.
