The Nature Canada is currently accepting proposals for the Young Leader Grant.
Women for Nature have established a grant/bursary for a young person to develop and implement a project to celebrate the role that nature plays in Canadian culture and identity.
Women for Nature are leaders who care deeply about nature and want to inspire others to make a difference. In particular, they want to encourage, foster and nurture youth (under 30) to demonstrate their leadership for nature.
All across Canada, people and organizations inspire them with their leadership and devotion to natural world. They commit their time and energy not for credit but for the results.
