PRINCE GEORGE- Applications are now open for the $50,000 CNC Research Forest Society legacy fund. CNC is seeking applications for projects with a focus on environmental improvement, renewable natural resource education and/or outreach programs, outdoor recreation improvement, or social/environmental commitment to local communities.
“The CNC Research Forest was founded on the principles of providing new research and learning opportunities for natural resource and forestry students at CNC,” said Tara Szerencsi, CNC Vice President Finance and Corporate Services. “This legacy fund extends the benefits of the Research Forest as we watch projects with long-term community impact develop and grow.”
The first legacy fund, worth $45,000 was awarded to the Young Rainbow Warriors Society last year. It was awarded for the organization’s expansion of their forest food park and cultural center near Burns Lake and to the District of Mackenzie for the development of a 10 km community trail connection to on-route recreation amenities within Mackenzie.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better response to the legacy fund last year,” Pollard said. “It was inspiring to see so many creative minds focused on the environment to better their communities. We’re hoping to keep the momentum going and look forward to supporting another project.”
