Transport grants for schools

Transport grants for schools are granted for trips that have been planned in co-operation with forest professionals. It can be a trip to a forest, participation to a forest-themed day organized for schoolchildren, an industrial visit or a trip to other place related to the forest livelihood. The most important thing is that the program includes presentation of the forest livelihood, silviculture or the forest industry. The Executive director of the Finnish Forest Foundation makes the decision of transport grants.
