Earth Month Heroes
Honoring teachers in your community who inspire students about the environment
Throughout the month of April, the Wyland Foundation and its environmental education partners Toyota along with CBS/KCAL, will recognize the great teachers in Los Angeles County, CA and Orange County, CA who believe each student can make a difference- and are finding new, innovative ways to share their insights, wisdom and experience for a sustainable, healthy planet. We welcome you to nominate teachers (K-12) who you feel are committed to environmental education.
We will be recognizing one hero each week during Earth Month (April), with one grand prize winner. As a special thank you we will be making a $250 donation on behalf of each Earth Month Hero, and the grand prize winner will receive $500 to a local environmental charity of their choice. Last year’s Earth Month Hero Grand Prize Winner was profiled live in studio on KCAL 9.
