New Grant Launches to Create Outdoor Learning Environments

Prairie Rivers of Iowa, in partnership with the Living Roadway Trust Fund, is kicking off a new grant initiative around building outdoor learning environments all across Iowa. The new grant program’s main goal is to create unique outdoor learning spaces that will work well for local communities and their residents. The Outdoor Learning Environment (OLE) grant program is separated into three phases. The three phases are designed to create a process in which community support is gathered, planning and design are done and implementation of the outdoor learning environment project is built. Support from the Outdoor Learning Environment Coordinator will be provided along the way. Visit www.prrcd.org/olegrant or review this resource guide for more details.
