We uncovered an incredible benefit to green schoolyards, worth its weight in gold…💰 Green schoolyards provide economic benefits to school districts and communities! A new report by former Federal Reserve economist Rob Grunewald found that 60 cents are returned to a community for every dollar spent on green schoolyard conversion. As a result of greening, modest gains in high school graduation rates and community health have the potential to boost this return to over $3 for every dollar invested.
