This Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Environmental Education Grants Program (CFDA 66.951) provides $815,407 to Ecology Project International (EPI), a non-profit organization, to implement an environmental education project in Wyoming and Montana. Over a 2-year period, the project will engage up to 340 middle and high school students and their teachers in 30 immersive field science and habitat restoration programs focused on climate change impacts to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The project aims to increase environmental literacy, encourage pro-environmental behaviors, and cultivate environmental stewardship within underserved rural and indigenous communities. Key activities include fostering community collaboration, inspiring environmental career interests, and integrating indigenous knowledge into environmental education. EPI will also provide sub-awards to local organizations, tribal entities, schools, and individuals to support the project's goals.
