Sustainable Schoolyards create a smart, healthier and more livable community. This exhibit illustrates some of the outdoor classroom concepts, ecological teaching tools, and creative play ideas that can be added to almost any schoolyard in America. The features included in this design are already present in schools across the country and all are easily replicable. Learn how Sustainable Schoolyards contribute to active living, sustainable communities, and smart growth.
Sustainable Schoolyards create and maintain healthy and dynamic learning environments that demonstrate interconnectedness and a sense of place. Children, teachers, parents and the community design, grow, and maintain these community assets. Schools are a center of learning and growing — not only for children’s development, but for the entire community.
