Research consistently shows that children who spend more time outdoors experience improved mental and physical health. This program focuses on expanding tree canopies at public schools to help protect students from the impacts of climate change such as extreme heat. Each school will benefit from a nature-based playground, outdoor learning spaces, and the planting of more than 100 trees. The goal is to promote physical activity, support mental health, and enhance the overall well-being of students and staff. Construction is expected to complete in July of 2026.
