Synopsis:

Thousands of North American schools have begun to take a critical look at their grounds and realise the enormous potential for transforming barren expanses of asphalt into a diversity of exciting natural spaces for learning and playing. This compendium of articles from 'Green Teacher', North America's leading environmental education magazine, brings together the best strategies for school-ground renewal. The book provides an overview of the school grounds greening movement, complete project plans, and subject integration. From vegetable and butterfly gardens to an amphibian oasis and avian attractors, this comprehensive guide offers a trove of curriculum tie-ins, activities, and plans for educators, parents, and students. Includes extensive resources.
