seed money available for school projects using native plants

**"Mark Charles" mark_h_charles@hotmail.com>**

The Lorrie Otto Seeds for Education Fund gives small monetary grants to 
schools, nature centers, houses of worship, or other educational 
organizations whose efforts best reflect the message of creating natural 
landscapes using native plants and appreciating humankind's proper place in 
the web of life.

To be considered for a year 2001 award, groups must apply by November 15, 
2000. Awards will be announced in February, 2001.

Typical projects design, establish and maintain a native plant community 
such as a  prairie, woodland or wetland. They may also include 
plant-centered wildlife habitat such as butterfly gardens, bird nesting or 
watering sites, and similar features.

Projects must emphasize youth involvement and increase the educational value 
of the site. Creativity in designing projects is encouraged. The use of 
native plants or seeds is mandatory, and any plants or seeds used should be 
appropriate to the site.
