Project Learning Tree 36 Greekworks Grants for Educators

Project Learning Tree® (PLT), the environmental education program of the
American Forest Foundation, has awarded 36 GreenWorks! grants to PLT
schools and youth organizations across the country for community-based
environmental projects. GreenWorks! is PLT's service-learning program that
engages PLT educators and their students with their local community in
"learning-by-doing" neighborhood improvement projects.

Since 1992, Project Learning Tree has distributed more than $500,000 to
fund over 780 grant projects in communities across the country. Proposals
for the Spring 2008 cycle of grants are due on April 30, 2008. Grants up
to $5,000 are available.

The GreenWorks! grants announced this week will fund elementary through
college-age students in 23 different states and the U.S. Virgin Islands as
they design native plant gardens, restore streams and riparian habitat,
plan and construct outdoor classrooms, build learning trails, and
investigate alternative sources of energy, among other projects. Read the
press release.
