Hosted by the Michigan Tree Farm Committee, the Wheels to Woods program provides transportation funding for PreK-12 educational field trips to a nearby forest or forest products company. This grant is not competitive - funds will be awarded if available and if the field trip provides outdoor education in a forest for PreK-12 students.
MiPINES seeks to empower educators in practicing outdoor education by providing the location of greenspaces within a short distance of their school.
