There is a new opportunity that Stateline area teachers can take advantage of: The Nature Net Express Grant.

From the website: Nature Net aims to support your efforts to include outdoor, nature, and environmental education in your curricula with The New Nature Express grant program, which supports all kinds of nature learning experiences remote and in-person. It is designed to remove barriers and support your creative ideas with up to $300 in funding…

Welty is a proud member of Nature Net, a non-profit environmental learning network, whose goal is to increase access and promote collaboration in environmental education. It has 19 partners, all located in southern Wisconsin. Members include many field trips destinations for Rock county schools, including: the Aldo Leopold Nature Center, Henry Vilas Zoo, Olbrich Gardens, and the Madison Children’s Museum.

Outside funding subsidized our insect adaptations field trip for Merrill 3rd graders (on left)… Nature Net’s Express Grant could help fund similar programs!

Do you have a new unit approaching or want to reinforce learning? This is a great opportunity to augment your lesson plans with nature-based topics, and cover the expense with grant funding.  Send us an inquiry at info@weltycenter.org to see what is possible. We can quickly build you a quote to use for the grant process.  Good luck and let us know if you have any questions!
