School Grounds ReGreen

School Grounds ReGreen provides modular, ready-to-adapt kits that help schools convert barren or paved areas into living labs and wildlife habitats. Each kit includes design templates, native plant lists, and activity guides tailored to grade levels and regional growing conditions. It supports educators in integrating outdoor learning across subjects while addressing heat islands and stormwater runoff.

The approach emphasizes student ownership and intergenerational collaboration, with protocols for co-creating plans with children, teachers, and community volunteers. It includes safetychecklists, maintenance timelines, and seasonal planting schedules that reduce long-term care burdens. Schools gain a space that grows in value over time—supporting science education, mental wellness, and biodiversity.

Implementation follows a phased rollout—assessment, design, action, and reflection—ensuring sustainability beyond a single project. Tools include budgeting calculators, grant connection tips, and reporting rubrics aligned with educational standards. This builds capacity within schools to replicate successes and share strategies across districts and regions.
