  • Schools: The Lungs of Our Community

    Thursday, June 12, 2025

    Time: 10:00 am to 11:30 am
    Location: Online Webinar

    The heart of our communities and cities are our schools and greenspaces. Greening schoolyards can benefit students, their families, and the rest of the community. A well-forested campus can help fight climate change, pollution, heat islands, and improve the mental health of those who frequent or engage with those spaces. Transforming schools from asphalt to greenspace is a critical component to increasing our urban forest, cooling our neighborhoods and improving access to open spaces -- especially in densely urban communities like those in the Bay Area. But schools can face complex challenges and competing priorities that create barriers to this transformation. Learn more and join the discussion at Canopy’s Schools: The Lungs of Our Communities webinar on June 12, 2025 from 10 AM - 11:30AM.
