LACONIA — Applications for the Opechee Garden Club 2011 EverGreen Awards are now available for interested applicants and not-for-profit organizations.
The annual award has been established to promote educational and/or career building skills within the disciplines of conservation, environmental science, forestry, horticulture, landscape design, or any other area supported by the Opechee Garden Club with a focus on the environment. All area high school students or non-traditional students pursuing a relevant course of study are eligible to apply.
Since 2009, the Opechee Garden Club has opened this award up to local not-for-profit organizations who wish to apply for an environmentally-based project that will benefit the greater Laconia-Gilford community. Groups eligible for consideration are non-profits or area organizations including those devoted to conservation, landscaping, restoration of historic gardens, in-school education in nature for both faculty and students, scouting projects, and similar horticulturally directed adventures. Sample projects would include field work, research, or classroom work focusing on the conservation and preservation of the natural environment for future generations.
The application deadline is April 15 for awards to be made in May. To request an application, write to: Opechee Garden Club, P.O. Box 5483, Laconia, NH 03247 or e-mail OpecheeGardenClub@yahoo.com.
