PPL Montana accepting grant applications for school environmental projects

As part of its annual Project Earth Environmental Education Grants Program, PPL Montana http://www.pplmontana.com is reaching out to elementary and high schools across the state to help support programs that will inspire students to learn about environmental issues and energy conservation.

“One of PPL Montana’s objectives is to help students use their creative energy to learn about and improve Montana’s wildlife, habitat, and rivers and streams, and make their schools and communities more energy- efficient and environmentally friendly,” said Lisa Perry, PPL Montana’s community affairs manager. “We’re always eager to see how our students tap into their imaginations for their grant applications.”

Last year the grant program helped students at seven Montana schools from West Glacier to Glendive broaden their understanding of issues ranging from the importance of water quality in lakes and rivers and cultivating crops in rocky, porous soil to building solar space heaters for school use.
