BRIDGTON — Loon Echo Land Trust announces the recipients of its 2015 Environmental Educational Grant Program.
Loon Echo awarded small grants to the Naples Public Library, Bridgton Public Library and Spaulding Memorial Library, as well as the Sebago and Harrison elementary schools.
Every year, schools and libraries in Loon Echo’s service area of Denmark, Bridgton, Harrison, Naples, Casco, Raymond and Sebago are invited to submit grant applications to Loon Echo for environmental programs. These awards will help Lake Region children learn about the environment and the importance of protecting our region’s land and natural resources.
This year the schools and libraries are using their grants for programs, including wildlife, natural history and water resources.
Loon Echo Land Trust protects land in the northern Sebago Lake region of Maine to conserve the region’s natural resources and character for current and future generations. Loon Echo protects over 5,900 acres, owns eight preserves and maintains 25 miles of multiuse trail for public enjoyment.
