Living Schoolyards Act: More Nature in Schools
This act aims to create greener and more natural spaces on school grounds, which is intended to improve children's health, well-being, and academic performance. Through grants, schools will be able to create gardens, plant trees, and build outdoor learning areas, benefiting both students and local communities.
Key points
Elementary and secondary schools can receive grants to develop outdoor learning spaces, including canopies, furniture, Wi-Fi, and even outdoor food service facilities.
The act supports the creation of "living schoolyards" with gardens, trees, and nature observation areas, aiming to improve air quality and water management.
Grants will be available for planning and implementing projects, with priority given to schools in lower-income areas, and support for schools operated by the Bureau of Indian Education.
