Hands-on learning is available again next year when students visit Land Between the Lakes through the School Field Trip Grant program. 

The Friends of Land Between The Lakes offer public school districts within 100 miles an opportunity to receive assistance in covering costs for facility admission fees at Woodlands Nature Station, Homeplace 1850s Farm and Golden Pond Planetarium, as well as dorm rental at Brandon Spring Group Center.

Grant amount awarded to schools is based on:
School’s matching funds
Number of students
Income level of families in applicant school (as represented by free and reduced lunch percentage)
Programs the school plans to participate in at Land Between the Lakes

All educational programs are designed to support Kentucky and Tennessee State K-12 curriculum guidelines for science, social studies and arts and humanities. 

The grant program is sponsored by the US Forest Service, Friends of Land Between the Lakes, Calloway County Homemakers, Bicentennial Volunteers, Inc., and other private donors.

Applications for the next school year are due to be received by April 28. Grant award results will be posted on the LBL site by July 15.

Send them to 345 Maintenance Road, Golden Pond, KY 42211 (attention Jim Taylor). If you have questions you may reach out to Jim Taylor at jtaylor@friendsoflbl.org or call 270-924-2091.

 Support for this important program is always appreciated. Contact Friends of Land Between the Lakes Executive Director Aviva Yasgur, 270-924-2077, ayasgur@friendsoflbl.org, to learn how you can help more schools visit Land Between the Lakes.
