- improved access to outdoor school programs for 5‘h and 6‘h students throughout the state,
- systematic integration of environmental education in the K-12 system will increase,
- outdoor school providers will be more prepared to effectively engage and support the diverse populations of Oregon,
- and, the outdoor school experience will increasingly reflect the diverse perspectives, traditions, knowledge and relationships all people in Oregon bring as active stewards of their natural and built environments.
Eligibility Criteria
They will consider proposals submitted by schools, districts, colleges, government agencies or 501(c)3 non-profit organizations serving Oregon.
