The Environmental Bulletin Board for the Ozarks Region
Government Agencies
The protector, the regulator, the regulated, provider of services and information – the last defense for our natural resources – these all describe various government agencies. In Missouri, agencies such as the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Missouri Department of Conservation were created to protect the elements of our natural outdoors – soil, water, wildlife, air – for example. We need them, we must support them. We must also give them the benefit of our expression of our opinions and needs and our time as we all work together toward a common goal of protecting our Ozarks outdoors.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is announcing the selection of 33 organizations to receive over $3.1 million in funding for projects under the Environmental Education Grants Program. Among the grant recipients are four Minority Serving Institutions.
“We know that climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time, and it demands bold and innovative solutions,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “This year’s grant recipients represent some of the brightest minds from across the country, and they demonstrate what it means to couple the power of environmental education with a commitment to creating a future with clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet for all.”
The funding will range from $50,000 to $100,000, to organizations that provide environmental education activities and programs. This year’s grantees will conduct project activities in 27 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Learn more about this year's winners by reading the recently published press release.
