Each year, the Arizona Game and Fish Department offers Heritage grants. This allows community organizations and government agencies to receive money for wildlife-related projects. Prior to 2020, these grants funded environmental education programs and projects. While these were extremely beneficial, we did find that it was a challenge for many schools to meet the application requirements. As a result, we replaced the EE portion of the Heritage grants with the new, stream-lined K-12 education grants. However, we have kept many of the curriculum and resources that were developed from these original grants.
Note: these resources remain as they were created by the grantee. They are not being updated.
