$1,000 grant available
The Georgia Department of
Natural Resources is offering a
$1,000 grant to a third-, fourth-
or fifth-grade public or private
school teacher in the state who
demonstrates exceptional en
ergy and innovation in teaching
life sciences.
Science specialists cover
ing those grade levels can also
apply for the Conservation
Teacher of the Year grant, ac
cording to the DNR’s Wildlife
Resources Division.
The grant is coordinated by
the Nongame Conservation
Section and made possible
through support from The En
vironmental Resource Network,
or TERN, friends group of the
section.
Through education, research
and management, Nongame
Conservation works to safe
guard Georgia's native diversity
of wild animals, plants and their
habitats - while also striving to
increase public enjoyment of
the outdoors. The purpose of
the grant is to recognize and
help an outstanding teacher
who uses Georgia’s nongame
wildlife as the context for learn
ing, according to Linda May,
DNR environmental outreach
coordinator.
"Students love learning out
doors,” May said. "Through
their natural curiosity, children
develop a fondness for wildlife
and the places they call home.
Ultimately, this awareness and
appreciation prompt them to
become good environmental
stewards - and then our natural
resources benefit, too.”
Nongame refers to native
animals that are not fished for or
hunted and to rare native plants,
species such as gopher tortoises
and purple pitcher plants.
Previous grant recipients

outdoor classrooms. For exam
ple, at Savannah Country Day
School, science specialist Bill
Eswine and his students turned a
large drainage ditch on campus
into a bog. The new habitat
was used for wildlife observa

threats to ecosystems.
More recently, students at
Unity Grove Elementary in
Locust Grove catalogued the
plants and animals found on
their school grounds through a
"bioblitz.” Fifth-grade teacher
Melanie Hartfield coordinated
this effort, using the grant to
buy naturalist backpacks, bin
oculars and other supplies.
Her students identified their
findings, created an e-book and
taught the school’s third-graders
about wildlife and habitats.
Through cross-curricular activi
ties, students gathered valuable
information about Georgia’s
native and invasive exotic spe
cies, gained an appreciation
for nature, and became better
stewards.
This fall, another talented
teacher will be selected to re
ceive funding based on project
design, which will be evaluated
through grant proposal ques
tions. Projects that are espe
cially creative and teach about
Georgia’s rare or endangered
species, as well as those that
have no other means of fund
ing, will earn bonus points.

The deadline to apply is Sept.
