Up to a thousand are being offered, for up to $1,000 each.

Recipients can use the grant to grow vegetable or bush tucker gardens, composts, worm farms or other environmental projects in their schools and communities which help to educate students on the importance of the environment.

Woolworths Delroy Park, Dubbo and Riverdale Group Manager Scott Clayton said the Junior Landcare Grants Program is about inspiring Aussie environmental champions in Dubbo.

"The grants help deliver programs that not only educate younger generations on how to be more environmentally conscious, but also get Dubbo students hands-on and directly supporting the growth of a sustainable, greener future.

"If we work together, we can help support growth of flora and fauna so that bees can continue their vital role in supporting our agricultural systems and improving biodiversity."

Schools and centres can also apply for a Bee Bonus as part of a $1.5million investment by Woolworths into the program.

The Bee Bonus offers $500 to support the conservation of Australia's bee population.

With bees and pollination a crucial part of the horticultural and agricultural industry in Australia, schools and early learning centres can use the Bee Bonus in the development of native beehives, pollinator gardens or bee education programs

The program is funded through purchases of the Woolworths Bag for Good™, an initiative that was launched in June 2018 when Woolworths removed single-use plastic shopping bags across all stores.

Applications for Woolworths' Junior Landcare Grants are open from February 10.
