In May 2010, Minnesota's Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) allocated $250,000 to the Will Steger Foundation's project, Engaging Students in Environmental Stewardship through Adventure Learning, to support the development of a new curriculum, teacher training, online learning and collaboration with schools. The overarching goal of the project is to build awareness and interest in Minnesota's natural environment and the impact of climate change, and to provide educators and students with the tools necessary for active and life-long stewardship. The curriculum, Minnesota's Changing Climate, investigates connections between ecosystems, resources and climate, while weaving Will Steger's adventures into curriculum and training, and providing leadership opportunities and networking for schools across the state.
