Yates launched its School Environmental Management Planning (SEMP) grant with Junior Landcare in 2009. In addition to its small grants program, Yates also funded the highly successful Junior Landcare Watermelon Challenge in 2008 and the Great Australian Dung Beetle Challenge in 2007.
The SEMP grants of $1,000 are awarded quarterly during the school year and help students produce a plan for sustainable environmental practices.
Funds from the Yates SEMP grant can be used to improve the school environment and encourage life-long learning for sustainability. Projects range from developing a SEMP for the school or identifying and protecting significant natural assets, to implementing actions from an existing SEMP – for example, carrying out energy, waste and water audits.

NOTE: All schools, kindergartens, daycare centres, and youth groups (i.e. Scouts) are eligible to apply for a Junior Landcare grant.
