THE RESULTS OF THE NATIONAL PARKS FUND
3rd ANNUAL AUTUMN CONTEST

The National Parks Fund thanks everyone who participated in the Third Annual Contest. This time we received projects from 102 entrants. Many projects showed an innovative approach to conservation issues, especially in the Environmental Education category. The best projects were awarded Fund grants. Unfortunately, the number of projects deserving support exceeded the funds available. However, we expect to provide support to several national parks and nature reserves in addition to this year’s grant winners. In order to do this the NP Fund is looking for donors for those projects that the Fund and its experts consider the most interesting. The total amount of money allocated this year was $42,000, with individual grants ranging in size from $4,255 to $6,000. Below is a list of the winners:
