Living Schoolyards Act Reintroduced in the US Senate

We have great news to share! The Living Schoolyards Act, originally introduced in fall 2022, has been reintroduced in the United States Senate by Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) as S-1538, the Living Schoolyards Act of 2023.

This new legislation will enable schools to completely re-envision their outdoor spaces on school grounds with the goal of providing more hands-on learning opportunities, strengthening local ecological systems, and giving every child a place where they can learn and play outside.

The Living Schoolyards Act is supported by more than 150 organizations, including Green Schoolyards America, Trust for Public Land, the American Society of Landscape Architects, and the National Wildlife Federation.
