Grants of up to $1,000 will be available to Colorado K-12 schools for a variety of environmental student-led projects which take place outdoors. Eligible proposals are for hands-on projects that students plan, implement, and maintain in order to educate them about the environment and wildlife, increase their knowledge of math and science, and enhance their critical thinking abilities.

Outdoor Classrooms come in a variety of shapes and sizes and should be designed based on the needs of your community. Whether by funding trees for shade, a garden for harvesting healthy produce, or native wildflowers to attract pollinators, this grant program is designed to help increase communities’ use and enjoyment of their public outdoor spaces.
