Deadline: 10-Feb-23
Are you looking to enhance biodiversity on your school grounds, this year? Apply for funding to support a planting project as part of the Greenbelt Biodiversity action.
For the Greenbelt Biodiversity action, students are invited to conduct a biodiversity inventory and plant native species on their school grounds. While this action is focused on Ontario’s Greenbelt, biodiversity inventories are still a powerful way to support conservation initiatives in your region!
