Yerba Mansa Project Field Trip Grant Application

Thank you for your interest in working with the Yerba Mansa Project! This Field Trip Grant opportunity provides free plant-based curriculum with an educational program in the Bosque and is available to groups contributing to our Field Guide Project. Additionally, teachers or group leaders may indicate whether they require round-trip bus coverage for a Bosque field trip. Teachers at the same school are encouraged to apply together, as buses can accommodate up to 50 elementary students plus chaperones, and around 48 middle-high school students and/or chaperones. For the 2023 school year, preference will be given to schools serving lower-income students, in accordance with the New Mexico Outdoor Equity Fund’s grant requirements, however, all applications will be fully considered

Please read through the assignments for your grade level before filling out the application.
