Grab your hand lens, because there's plenty to see up close in the Amazon Rainforest! Over the last fourteen years we have developed a program that teams scientists with teachers and inspires curricula for local communities. This program is especially designed for educators and we encourage teachers and environmental educators to seek local and school district funding. Use the Funding Ideas from our alumni as a place to start. Our Rainforest Workshops Concept Paper can provide important structure for a funding proposal or a Sample Funding Letter may inspire your confidence in seeking local funds.
