Environmental Education Grants
​
Protecting the future of conservation.

Picture
​Teaching children about the environment and why we should value it is a major goal at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge. In a typical year, the refuge brings environmental education programs to about 4,500 students from surrounding counties. Unfortunately, many students are missed because their schools just don’t have the money for field trips. Each year, Friends of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (FONWR) provides funds to schools to cover the cost of transportation so that all kids can visit.

If you are a teacher interested in requesting an Environmental Education grant for your school or organization, please follow the instructions on this form.

If you are interested in sponsoring this program, please visit our donation page.
