The Green Schoolyard District Design Guidelines were created to give step-by-step instruction on how — and why — to implement districtwide green schoolyard programs. The document provides a pathway to help your school district create its own guidelines for infusing nature into children’s everyday lives by upgrading existing systems or creating new systems. Although it was written with school district staff in mind, it can also serve as a resource for anyone involved in the planning, designing and transforming of the outdoor spaces where children grow, learn and play. The publication can be a guiding tool to build support, create meaningful partnerships, and innovate the way outdoor spaces are used at your school or school district.
