Analysis : The purpose of this project is to develop and implement green infrastructure, improved shade canopy, educational amenities, community outreach, and educational workshops through contractual and volunteer involvement, permitting, site preparation, construction, planting, and post grant maintenance for three years after. Both Cedarlane Academy and Sparks Middle School have been identified by the District and community as a significant priority based on the current lack of green or shaded student outdoor access areas on campus. Heavily paved spaces, and dying turf with exposed ground in student athletic spaces, increase temperatures through radiant heat, eliminate vital opportunities for stormwater capture, and discourage youth from physical activity in extreme urban heat. TreePeople will convert defunct green space into functional turf athletic fields, play yards, learning gardens, significantly increasing the size of available green space and shaded areas for safe outdoor play and learning. The design of the spaces will be developed with input and consultation of school site council, site administrators, students, and parents.
