Indeed, there is certainly Lots to Love about Lots-to-Learn.\u200a\u2014\u200aDeanda Logan, Principal, William Cramp Community School<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Most would not\u200a\u2014\u200a<em>could not<\/em>\u200a\u2014\u200aargue against the extreme value of a child\u2019s education, but for some, it is vital to emphasize how important it is for that education to extend beyond the physical confines of a classroom. Children learn in myriad and diverse ways. Children are heavily influenced by their environment\u200a\u2014\u200athis goes for adults too\u200a\u2014\u200aand although this sentiment is often expressed to communicate negative environmental impacts on young learners in cities, there are big thinkers and imaginative do-ers considering educational sites and how to incorporate natural and vegetative aspects to learning environments.<\/p>\n<p>Interpret Green\u2019s Lots-To-Learn Project at William Cramp Community School in North Philadelphia was recently honored with the 2016 Groundbreaker Award from the Delaware Valley Green Building Council.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Trust for Public Land\u2019s Parks for People\u200a\u2014\u200aPhiladelphia program worked directly with students to turn the school\u2019s previous asphalt parking lot into a beautiful green schoolyard. Interpret Green\u2019s Lots-to-Learn project then transformed the newly landscaped areas into an amazing \u201clearning landscape\u201d that integrates thriving wildlife habitats with interactive science, education &amp; art. DVGBC\u2019s award recognized Lots-to-Learn for its \u201cgroundbreaking\u201d dedication to students, creative innovation, sustainable initiatives, beauty and reverence for nature.<\/p>\n<p>The Lots-to-Learn project was commissioned and funded via a Community Impact Fund grant from the Trust for Public Land. The support and guidance from TPL\u2019s Parks for People\u200a\u2014\u200aPhiladelphia program was invaluable.
