Each year the Hansville Greenway Association pays for the transportation to get the 4th grade kids up to the conservation tour. In 2018 we were assisted by a grant from the Suquamish tribe. Other funding comes from donations and from the proceeds of the book “The Story of the Hansville Greenway” written by Sid and Craig Knutson.
The classes are made possible by various companies, agencies, and volunteers who donate time to make the trip a quality learning experience.
