NC Beautiful Offers Environment Education Grants to North Carolina K-12 Teachers

NC Beautiful, a provider of environmental education and beautification opportunities in North Carolina, is accepting applications for its 2010 Windows of Opportunity Grants.

Grants of $1,000 each are available to certified, full-time K-12 teachers in North Carolina.

The program provides educational grants to reward the state's teachers for their creativity in fostering environmental stewardship, leadership, and awareness and initiating a sense of community service. The grants were created to cultivate an appreciation of natural environments by helping children get out of school and into natural settings. The grants also are intended to build leadership awareness, develop environmental educational mentors and ambassadors, create materials and resources that can be used by other K-12 students, and develop sustainable, outdoor programs.

Applications are available online at the NC Beautiful Web site.
