About Nature Net

Nature Express

Nature Express bus funding works in one of two ways:

Nature Connections: Schedule two thematically related field trips to any Nature Net site/s and receive funds towards your second bus trip.

Nature Mentor: recruit a fellow teacher to join your class for their first Nature Net field trip, and share a bus fee!

Complete the form below to receive up to $80/bus to offset the bus expense for your second trip (or your shared mentor trip). Funds are limited, so apply now!

Nature Express is made available through a grant from the American Girl Fund for Children and Alliant Energy Foundation.

How it works:
1. Fill out the application and click on 'submit' (or print and mail to Nature Net).
2. Check your inbox for an Application Acknowledgement.
3. Enjoy your learning experience/s at your selected Nature Net site/s.
4. Once your trips are complete, we'll send you a request for proof of bus payment (receipt or invoice).
6. Nature Net sends your school up to $80/bus reimbursement! It's that easy!
