East Central FFA plans to use the funding to help address wildlife conservation
(St. Leon, Ind.) - The East Central FFA chapter has been awarded a Yearlong Living to Serve Grant in the amount of $3,000.
The nationwide program provides grant money to local FFA chapters to support yearlong service-learning projects that address needs related to community safety; environmental responsibility; hunger, health and nutrition; and community engagement.
East Central FFA plans to help address wildlife conservation to help native bird species by constructing at least 100 eastern bluebird houses, 20 wood duck nest boxes and 10 barn owl boxes. Many areas in southeast Indiana lack nesting areas for these species.
Through the construction of these nesting boxes, students will contribute to conservation while educating the public about habitat preservation and environmental stewardship. Houses will be provided to landowners and community agriculture and conservation groups at no cost.
The program provided over $158,500 to FFA chapters in 30 states. The 2026-2027 FFA Yearlong Living to Serve Grants are sponsored by Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, Cargill, and Tractor Supply Company. For more information and a complete listing of sponsors, visit FFA.org/livingtoserve.
