Due to the significant operational and economic impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Education Workgroup has identified an urgent need to provide financial assistance to environmental education providers. This financial assistance will provide organizations with critical support to retain staffing as their operations pivot from place-based environmental education to virtual platforms and physically distanced schoolyard programs.

Funds initiatives and programs that advance environmental literacy and result in students gaining the knowledge, skills, and appreciation for nature to take responsible actions to protect and restore their local environment. Eligible projects for this funding opportunity fall under two tracks. Both tracks welcome adaptations and alternative approaches due to COVID-19 restrictions and the uncertainty impacting schools throughout Maryland. See the Request for Proposals (RFP) for details about the eligible project types listed below.

Economic impact is a big selling point for funding private land conservation, trails and trail systems. Learn to paint a broad, research and data-based picture of the economic effects of your trail system or conserved lands—or project the benefits from a proposed trail or conservation program. You will also learn how to tell that story to support advocacy, fundraising, conservation-based economic development, and stronger community relationships. Five weekly sessions Sept. 22-Oct. 27.
