Grants available for environmental awareness

The Lowcountry Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Council Youth Environmental Education Grant Program was created to encourage and enhance natural resources education for South Carolina's young adults. The Lowcountry RC&D Council plans to award grants up to $2,000 to promote, enhance, or assist with environmental education programs for youth. The grants are not for individual students; rather they are intended for programs that teach environmental awareness to youth.
