Impact Austin 2021 Education Grant: Ecology Action of Texas

Описание: Since its founding in 1969, Ecology Action has been committed to the mission of landfill diversion and zero waste awareness in Austin and the surrounding region. Circle Acres is Ecology Action's first experiment in recycling an abandoned landfill in Montopolis into an ecological safe haven and a community resource. https://www.ecology-action.org/home/

Impact Austin awarded an unrestricted Community Grant of $19,600 to support Ecology Action's mission and programs. They maximized the grant in various ways: hiring a part-time Admin/Communication specialist; construction costs in Phase One of their outdoor classroom project; and staff/program expenses to lead volunteer management of their forestry initiative in Guerrero Park. In 12 months, Ecology Action hosted 5,000 volunteers for approximately 14,000 volunteer hours and 120 students in a pilot summer camp.
