These funds will be used to provide Environmental Education programs to 1800 4th graders during the school year period of 2019-2020. More specifically these funds will be used towards field trips as well as in-classroom activities focused on geology, biology, and how protecting and being good stewards of the environment can have a positive impact on the world all around them. This is super key to providing these students with critical <a aria-label=\"environmental (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/cat\/10\/environment-grants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">environmental<\/a> comprehension skills, as well as giving them a perspective about the outdoors and how important it is to understand what is being done to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Mammoth National Park Environmental Education Coordinator.
