In October 2018, an Environmental Education Grant from the EPA provided the University of North Georgia and experts from community partners to promote responsible, sustainable actions in the care and conservation of native forest ecosystems in North Georgia.
Students and members of the public will focus on learning comprehensive knowledge, application, technology, and environmental science skills on the environmental issues of invasive insect species, vegetation management, impairment of waterways due to sediment, soil and water quality issues affecting native forest ecosystems in urban, suburban, or rural communities, as all of these community types have native forest ecosystems in Georgia.
