Environmental Education Grant

The 2025 application period is now open!

The Pike County Conservation District Board of Directors are again offering a $500 Environmental Education Project grant for Pike County teacher/classrooms or youth organizations to fund projects that complement the mission of the District:

Pike County Conservation District is committed to the long-term protection and sustainable use of Pike County’s natural resources. We accomplish this through partnership, education, technical assistance, planning, enforcement, and leadership.

Since 2005, this program has awarded $12,500 to all three School Districts in Pike County for a variety of projects.

These projects have included a native plant hydroponics system, a composting program, natural pest control research, several native plant gardens, and more!
