RE: Trout Unlimited School Grant Program 2011
Members of the Harry and Laura Nohr Chapter of Trout Unlimited are dedicated to protecting water resources in Southwest Wisconsin, through stewardship of local ecosystems. We are also dedicated to the future of our region and beyond through supporting and encouraging students' and teachers' curiosity, engagement, and learning about streams, rivers, and uplands.
We invite teachers and schools in Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette counties to submit proposals for relevant projects, field trips, and curricula for their students. The maximum grant is $600 per school. Project funding may include (but is not limited to) water study, supplies, field trips, curriculum development, programs, speakers, library materials, videos, etc. We seek to support a range of projects in classroom, lab, or field. Proposals are due March 31, 2011, with notification and funds available before the end of the school year.
