CNPP Tour Transportation Funding Application
The Regional Parks Botanic Garden offers a California Native Peoples and Plants program to complement the California Indian unit for 4th graders. The program includes a 90-minute educational field trip which provides students with a hands-on experience as they learn how California Indians used plants in their region to meet most of their needs for food, shelter, tools, clothing and social time together.
Requirements
Transportation costs are covered by the Friends of Regional Parks Botanic Garden for schools in Oakland and West Contra Costa School Districts in which at least 50 percent of the student population qualifies for the Federal School Lunch Program and are a 4th grade class currently studying the California Indian Unit. If you teach in an eligible school in Oakland Unified or West Contra Costa, please submit this form to apply. We require requests to be submitted 2 months in advance to your request date of visit, but we recommend submitting your request sooner, since funds are limited.
Note: Groups are limited to 30 students max and require a ratio of 1 adult chaperone for every 5 students.
