AWARDS

OIPC Receives An "Outstanding Project Award" fro the EPA in 2016

Picture
​In 2012, when Cheryl Coon was the OIPC President, OIPC received an Ohio Environmental Education Fund (OEEF) grant from the Ohio EPA entitled “Invasive Plant Education for Ohio Citizens” for $4,615.  Using these grant funds in 2012-2013, OIPC presented three invasive plant workshops, developed a new brochure, poster, and 18 invasive plant factsheets (now available on the OIPC website), as well as distributing invasive plant information at a variety of events and updating the OIPC website with more resources.  Every 3-4 years, OEPA and a team of educators coordinated by the Environmental Education Council of Ohio (EECO), evaluates the projects that have been funded by the OEEF and selects the best to be honored with OEEF Outstanding Project Awards.
 
This summer, OIPC received a round green glass award in the mail (see photo) which stated that OIPC had received an OEEF Outstanding Project Award in 2016.  We had not been previously notified, so this was a surprise to us.  After contacting OEPA, we were able to get more details on the award.  There were 11 OEEF Outstanding Project Awards honoring past recipients of OEEF grants that were determined in March 2017.  For more details on these awards, visit the OEPA website HERE.
