The Children & Nature Network describe how nature-filled schoolyards – or green schoolyards – provide a wealth of well-documented benefits for children’s health, well-being and learning. A growing number of communities also recognize the role of green schoolyards in supporting climate resilience.
A new report, “How Green Schoolyards Create Economic Value,” authored by former Federal Reserve economist Rob Grunewald, outlines the economic returns that can accompany investments in greening school grounds.
Watch the recording and share with leaders and budget decision-makers.
Topics covered include children’s learning and health, environmental sustainability, and community development and health.
These findings are equally applicable in UK school grounds and across the school estate.
