Benefits of a Schoolyard Habitat
Schoolyard Habitats® are more than just wildlife gardens or outdoor classrooms. The entire process of planning, building and maintaining a schoolyard habitat provides a wide range of benefits to students, teachers, the administration and the community, as well as to wildlife.
Some of the many benefits of Schoolyard Habitats® include:
- Increased student comprehension, performance and motivation
- Local site for teachers for interdisciplinary studies
- More opportunities and resources for creative instruction
- Reduced costs for school grounds upkeep and maintenance
- Restored habitat that gives local wildlife food, water, cover and places to raise their offspring
