The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a facility in North East a $50,000 grant to help train educators so they can better teach middle-school students about environmental issues. The Cecil County facility, called NorthBay, is operated by the Catonsville-based Erickson Foundation. With the grant, it will train 60 middle school teachers in weeklong sessions starting now and continuing through next year.
