Lowcountry RC&D Issues Call for Youth Environmental  Education Grant Applications

August 31, 2009--Youth Environmental Education Grant Program Applications are being accepted through October 19th, 2009, by the Lowcountry Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Council. Please direct inquiries and applications to Steve Edwards, Lowcountry RC&D, Colleton County Human Services Center, 219 South Lemacks Street, Walterboro, SC, 29488 or steve.edwards@sc.usda.gov. Please note: these grants are not for individual students; rather they are intended for specific programs that teach environmental awareness to youth. Applications can be submitted from anywhere within the state.

This program was created to encourage and enhance natural resources education for South Carolina’s young adults. The Youth Education Committee will award grants up to $2000 to promote, enhance, or assist with environmental education programs for youth.

Funding for this program comes from the Lowcountry RC&D Council's Wildlife Incentives Program seed sales. Certified and treated one year old corn, soybean and sorghum seed are offered each spring for wildlife planting and wheat seed is offered each fall. To be placed on the seed list please call 843-549-5596 and leave name, address, and cell phone number. Announcements will be mailed concerning the availability of seed.

Applications must be mailed (no faxes or emails) and must be the original application—no photocopies will be accepted. All grant recipients will be required to submit an article to the local news media with a copy to Lowcountry RC&D to justify use of grant funds.
