Sun Journal - Androscoggin County schools receive funding for outdoor learning programs
In its third and most expansive year yet, the Mini-Grants for Outdoor Learning Program has helped more than 30,000 students from schools in every county in Maine get outside the classroom and into the natural world.
The Maine Environmental Education Association distributed mini-grants to teachers for up to $1,500 each to spend on items like equipment for outdoor recreation, rain and snow gear, outdoor classroom building supplies, field trips, educator professional development, and garden and science exploration.
