SCHOOLS across Glasshouse Country and Maleny are being encouraged to apply for grants to get more kids involved in outdoor learning projects. Woolworths is offering over $1m in grants for schools and early learning centres through its Junior Landcare Grants program.
The grants support projects with a focus on sustainable food production, improving waste management, or enhancing native habitats.
“Our store team across Glasshouse and Maleny have been proud to connect with local schools who have previously been awarded a grant,” Woolworths Group Manager Angelo Biro, said.
“It’s been great to hear how the funding has helped enhance local school communities and support students as they get outdoors and learn more about the local environment.”
Since 2018, the program has allocated over $5m to nearly 5,000 schools.
Applications are open until March 19, 2024. For more information visit www.juniorlandcare.org.au.
