Reducing Barriers for K-12 Groups to Visit Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area 

RECIPIENT 

Vermont Fish and Wildlife 

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Dead Creek visitor Center in Addison, VT is a new education resource featuring displays highlighting the history of Dead Creek and conservation, fish, wildlife management, conservation partnerships, habitat and more. The Dead Creek Visitor center hosts K-12 school groups year round. However, one of the largest barriers for school group participation is transportation costs. This grant sought to provide access and scholarships to schools that do not have the financial means to cover the bussing costs to Dead Creek.
