Planet Connect is the National Environmental Education Foundation's 
(NEEF's) online social network, where high school students can learn about 
current environmental issues, funding opportunities, green colleges and 
environmental careers. Students can also share and exchange ideas about 
how they are playing a critical role in solving today?s environmental 
issues. 

In partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National 
Conservation Training Center, Planet Connect is administering the 2012 
Wildlife Conservation Youth Engagement Grants for high school students 
with a creative idea for conserving and protecting wildlife - including 
plants!  Planet Connect is offering grants of $1,000 to implement a 
project in local schools or communites. In addition, all grantees will 
receive funding to participate in a local summer internship focused on 
wildlife conservation or natural resources. 

Applications are due February 12, 2012. Get the details at:
