Subject: Apply Now for DoD National Public Lands Day Funding!

ALCON... Each year, DoD provides funding to the National Environmental Education Foundation to support local natural and cultural resource projects that implement conservation and management actions on DoD lands in ways that help the resource and help educate soldiers, civilians, their families, and the surrounding communities. This year's event features an increased funding cap and a new emphasis, though ALL good projects will still be considered.

Please distribute the attached announcement (also below) as appropriate, and especially to installations that may wish to submit an application. Deadline to apply is 7/30.

Thanks, Alison
