Are you a local business looking to give back to the kids in your community?
Balsam Mountain Trust partners with local businesses to provide standards-based wildlife education presentations at no cost to local Title I elementary schools.
Background
Adopt-a-School pairs a local business with an elementary school in Jackson or Haywood County to cover the cost of live-animal programming for all of the 4th graders. The sponsorship also funds our participation in the county Soil and Water Conservation Field Days for all 5th grade students.
