Take Action

Bring Nature Back to Schoolyards

Across the country, millions of kids look out their classroom windows and see a sea of hot, cracked asphalt. No trees. No play structures. No shade from the heat. The Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act of 2026 would change that, investing in nature-filled, safer schoolyards that support learning, health, and community use.

Tell Congress to support this game-changing bill and help create vibrant outdoor spaces where every child can thrive. Add your name today.

I'm writing as someone who cares deeply about the well-being of our children and the strength of our communities. Today, too many schoolyards are just hot, cracked asphalt that lack shade, trees, and safe places to play and learn.

The Revitalizing America's Schoolyards Act of 2026 is an opportunity to change that. It would invest in transforming underused schoolyards into vibrant, green spaces that support students' physical and mental health, improve learning, and create vital outdoor access in neighborhoods that often lack parks.

These schoolyards won't just benefit students; many will be open to the entire community during out-of-school hours, making them an essential shared resource.

With fewer than 1 percent of our 90,000 public schoolyards currently green and publicly accessible, this investment is urgent and overdue.

Please cosponsor the Revitalizing America's Schoolyards Act and help every child connect with nature right outside their school doors.
