Sand County Foundation is now accepting proposals from high school teachers for pollinator habitat grants! This competitive grant program gives students hands-on experience growing native forbs indoors and establishing pollinator habitat. Successful applicants will receive prairie seeds and seedlings, an orientation and consultation, and $1,000 to support project expenses. The deadline for proposals is November 18th, 2022.

To be eligible you must be a high school teacher, have access to a suitable indoor growing area, identify a site (working/agricultural lands preferred), and be located in Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, or Wisconsin.
