Win $500 for Your HOL Site!
Each year, Hands on the Land recognizes excellence in educational programming and partnerships through its Awards Program. This year, sites are eligible to win both recognition and a $500 stipend if chosen as an awardee. Winners are also acknowledged on the HOL website and newsletter and letter of recognition. Previous award winners have utilized the opportunity to send out press releases to their communities to showcase the great work their site is doing in partnership with HOL. 2008 Awards will go to sites that excel in Fostering Partnerships and Educational Programming. Please consider these as you nominate a site. To submit your nomination, fill out the Nomination Form no later than July 31, 2008.
The form is located on the HOL website at http://www.handsontheland.org/manage/nomination.cfm.
