Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park has launched a new pilot scheme to help schools and outreach groups experience the great outdoors in the Park by offering an Educational Travel Grant. With forests to explore, landscapes to walk and climb, lochs and rivers to sail on and rich wildlife and history to discover, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park provides the perfect outdoor classroom for schools and groups.
Funds will be provided for up to 75% of total transport costs. This includes transport to and from schools or a group’s meeting place to the National Park and the costs of accessing Inchcailloch island for outdoor learning activities.
For more information on the funding criteria visit the website or contact Alison Cush on 01389 722125 email education@lochlomond-trossachs.org.

That’s excellent. Transport costs for schools can be extortionate. Anything which makes our glorious outdoors more accessible to children and young people should be applauded.
