Connecting Youth with Nature (Youth in Nature)

Supports organizations that provide meaningful, hands-on nature experiences for school-age children and young adults to deepen respect for nature, improve physical and emotional health, and promote stewardship. Examples: school field trips, school gardens, family camps, conservation career cultivation, outdoor wilderness programs, school & summer camps, scouting, and bringing nature to the classroom. Grants may fund program costs, capital improvements, capacity building, supplies, discounted tuition, and transportation/access. Preference for high outreach to underprivileged youth and families.
