School Grounds Greening Program
Vision
Creating a school ground full of vegetation has almost infinite benefits for a child’s development. Beyond conservation efforts and aesthetics a school ground with more vegetation has been proven to protect children against cancer causing UV rays, decrease bullying activities and increase brain stimulation and wonderment of the world around them.
