The Monarch Migration Project West has great opportunities for teen groups to become part of a regional YMCA Earth Service Corp project to help the monarch butterfly. We are looking for groups to come up with a project and submit their ideas to us so we can provide funding for appropriate service projects (up to $1000 per group). We are extending this opportunity to youth environmental or school groups in the western range of the monarch butterfly and hope you will take full advantage of the support and resources we can provide. Projects can range from restoring milkweed into it’s natural range, developing an educational program, or participating in a pre-established monarch monitoring program.
To learn more about the project contact me and/or visit our website at http://www.mmpwest.com.
The deadline to apply for the mini-grants is 3/21/03.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any question or comments. Feel free to pass this information along to other youth environmental groups.
