This fund is aimed at supporting schools and voluntary and community groups making educational visits to the Cairngorms National Park.

Priority is given to:

• schools and groups from deprived areas
• those who have not visited the Park before
• groups who support people with disabilities, young people, ethnic minorities and those who experience economic disadvantage or health inequality

The activity should:

• Take place in the Cairngorms National Park, including the nine National Nature Reserves (NNRs)
• Raise awareness and understanding of the Cairngorms National Park
• Involve Ranger Services and NNR staff in the National Park where possible
• Help deliver Curriculum for Excellence through Outdoor Learning experiences, for example using the John Muir Award
