 Seeking Participants for New LIFE Class that Begins in January 2012
The Legacy Institute for the Environment (LIFE) is seeking Maryland
residents who are interested in learning more about environmental education,restoration, protection, and research programs, and who would like to help environmental nonprofit organizations in their stewardship activities.
Our 2012 Institute offers an opportunity for participants to learn more about the Chesapeake Bay's fragile ecosystem, and then join with others in volunteer service on behalf of the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center
(CBEC) in Grasonville.
The Institute provides environmental education and service learning
opportunities through engaging and flexible educational sessions and field
experiences. Many leading governmental agencies and an array of
environmental organizations join us in offering this program that seeks to
enhance environmental centers' efforts to protect and restore the Chesapeake
Bay ecosystem.
Beginning February 2012, we will hold weekly education sessions on Fridays
for 9 weeks from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at CBEC. This will be followed by
opportunities for hands-on activities at the center and elsewhere over the
course of the year. The Institute is both informative and fun, and it offers
involvement in stewardship activities that fit the time and talents of older
adults.
This program is partly funded through a grant received from the United Way.
We are grateful to the United Way for their support and look forward to
improving upon an already successful program. If you are interested or have
questions, contact Courtney Leigh at 443-262-2032 or
