Alice M. Power Environmental Educational Fund

A community environmental outreach to educate students and conduct research on estuaries.

The Alice M. Power Environmental Educational Fund was established to honour Alice Power, a passionate environmental educator and founding member of FOPE.

Fund Purpose:

To support youth in understanding natural environments and their place as responsible environmental citizens;
To support researchers and academics in using new technologies to bring students exciting portrayals of the need to work for a clean and energizing environment;
To build networks of physical/human resources that will help understanding the essential role a healthy environment adds to our standard of living and quality of life;
To create new insights as to how the intertwining of our streams, rivers, harbor basins and oceans bring a necessary stimulus to our fauna, birds and animal life.

Donations to the fund can be made through the Community Foundation of Nova Scotia via CanadaHelps.

A scholarship is available through the Alice M. Power Environmental Educational Fund for students of Pugwash District High who are pursuing post-secondary studies related to environmental stewardship. This scholarship aims to support young leaders dedicated to protecting and understanding our natural world.
