Since I launched the Stow It-Don’t Throw It Project, the greatest challenge I have faced is the continued need for support to meet the growing demand of youth and adults wishing to become involved in this effort.
With support from the Pollination Project Youth Environmental Grant I have been able to quickly engage new groups in this effort and provide them with the materials/support needed to become involved. The grant has allowed the expansion of the project to new states/regions – in an effort to protect wildlife from fishing line entanglement in both inland and coastal regions across the country.
