Grant Overview
Wyoming's outdoor education landscape is characterized by vast rural areas and limited access to environmental education resources. With 85% of Wyoming's land area classified as rural, outdoor education programs face significant challenges in reaching students across the state. The target outcomes of this grant opportunity include increasing environmental awareness and conservation skills among Wyoming's school children. Why do these outcomes matter in Wyoming? The state's unique natural resources, including Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, provide unparalleled opportunities for environmental education. However, rural schools often lack the resources and infrastructure to develop comprehensive outdoor education programs. How will funding be implemented? The Wyoming Outdoor Education program will focus on developing digital tools and curriculum resources that can be accessed by schools statewide, with a particular emphasis on rural areas. Eligible applicants are typically educational institutions and nonprofit organizations with experience in environmental education. ## Wyoming's Outdoor Education Infrastructure Wyoming's outdoor education infrastructure is marked by a mix of national parks, state parks, and local conservation areas. However, many rural schools lack the transportation and staffing resources needed to fully leverage these assets. Successful applicants will need to demonstrate an understanding of Wyoming's rural landscape and develop innovative solutions to reach students across the state. ## Outdoor Education in Wyoming's Frontier Counties Wyoming's frontier counties, which account for 23 of the state's 23 counties, present unique challenges for outdoor education programs. With limited access to resources and infrastructure, these areas require specialized approaches to program delivery. The grant opportunity prioritizes initiatives that can effectively serve Wyoming's frontier counties, where provider shortages exceed national averages by 300%. Unlike Colorado, Wyoming requires demonstration of extreme rural delivery capacity due to frontier county designation.
