More details:
Of the 90,000 public schoolyards in the U.S., less than 1 percent of
them are rich in green space and stay open to the neighborhood outside
of school hours. Swapping out blacktop for trees, gardens, and
up-to-date play equipment in our nation's schoolyards provides
one of the greatest opportunities we have to help students reach their
academic potential and help combat the impacts of climate change. And
if every public schoolyard in America functioned as a shared outdoor
space during non-school hours, some 20 million more people would have
access to a park within a 10-minute walk of home.
Park Bench Chat Virtual Series attendees
At The Trust for Public Land, we've worked alongside communities
across the country to transform nearly 300 public schoolyards
into great public parks. Join media trailblazer and Trust for Public
Land volunteer leader Jocelyn Dorsey for a Park Bench Chat with
Oakland Unified School District Superintendent Dr. Kyla
Johnson-Trammell, Tull Charitable Foundation Executive Director
Gabrielle Kreisler Sheely, and The Trust for Public Land's
Schoolyards Initiative Director Danielle Denk for a conversation about
the untapped potential of America's schoolyards.
They will share examples of how Community Schoolyards(TM) projects
are transforming underused outdoor space into vibrant public parks,
full of trees, shade, and places to exercise, play, and learn.
They'll also explore how this solution to solve America's
park equity divide can be scaled nationwide through public, NGO, and
philanthropic partnerships.
When: Wednesday, September 15 at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET
Space is limited so I hope you'll register today!
