Eligible activities include borrowing environmental education kits, attending education sessions, hui or workshops provided by Horizons staff members, or participating in teacher professional development events.

Environmental Education Transport Fund
The Environmental Education Transport Fund supports schools and Early Childhood Education (ECE) Centres in the Horizons Region who are taking field trips to iconic environmental education sites. The fund provides financial assistance for transportation costs to help students access hands-on learning experiences at important natural and conservation areas. Eligible destinations include the Manawatū Estuary, Te Āpiti – Manawatū Gorge, Tōtara Reserve Regional Park, Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre, Otorohanga Kiwi House, Bushy Park Tarapuruhi, and Central Energy Trust Wildbase Recovery Centre. The program aims to remove financial barriers to environmental education by subsidizing transport costs, making it easier for educational institutions to provide students with meaningful outdoor learning experiences.
