Greening Schoolyards: Ensuring all children have access to green spaces
Living in an urban environment, we are disconnected from the natural world and oblivious to nature's benefits. What can we do to renew and preserve it?
Following the principals of the green schoolyard movement, this project intends to connect children with the natural world. The benefits of school grounds with abundant natural elements can have a lasting impact on a child's well-being: the potential to improve their physical and mental health as well as instilling respect and love for nature.
This project redesigns Aldama Elementary school
grounds to incorporate nature (and remove paving!), creating a space that fosters curiosity, exploration, adventure, and social opportunities while learning.
