Two Maryland organizations will receive support for education and stewardship programming to enhance environmental education in the state.
Outdoor education and stewardship funding is made possible from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Chesapeake Bay Implementation Grant. Specific amounts will be contingent upon federal funding availability and approval.
The following organizations were awarded funding through the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

St. Mary’s College of Maryland – To develop a multi-year, recurring curriculum in the Environment Students Department to introduce students to the causes of and potential solutions to ecological degradation, community resilience needs related to future conditions and career skills and paths in ecological restoration and resource management.
