The Kentucky Environmental Education Council has been awarded a $91,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant to train teachers about water-quality education and fund student water stewardship projects in the state through the Kentucky Green and Healthy Schools program.
The grant will support teacher training in scientific concepts about water. It will also competitive grant funding to its network of more than 200 schools for the design and implementation of student-led projects to improve water quality and/or conservation in schools and local communities.
In its survey of Kentuckians conducted in 2013, the Kentucky Environmental Education Council found that Kentuckians are more concerned with water quality and conservation than any other environmental issue.
