School communities can build beautiful, ecosystem-friendly habitat on school grounds, while engaging students and community members in the stewardship of the land. Native plant programs can support biodiversity, restore wildlife habitat, manage stormwater, and improve soil health. Programs can create outdoor space for students to engage in STEM education.
Students can learn to identify native and invasive species, assess soil health, and take responsibility for the environment. If the public can access the space, community members can also enjoy learning from the native landscape.
Additionally, a native plant program can help facilitate the removal of invasive species from school property.
