CAL FIRE Green Schoolyards Grants Project Information App

Metadata Updated: July 23, 2025

App showing schools and childcare facilities included in California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Urban and Community Forestry Program's Green Schoolyards Grants. Green Schoolyards Grants are designed to protect the health, well-being, and educational opportunity of children most vulnerable to increasing temperatures and extreme heat across California. Projects shall be centered around improving the environmental conditions and experiences for school children with the highest levels of co-benefits. Projects will invest in nature-based climate solutions that deliver multiple benefits such as helping to alleviate extreme heat, improving the immediate environment for students as well as supporting outdoor learning and environmental literacy, while also reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improving functionality of urban forests, arresting the decline of urban forest resources, increasing climate change resilience, improving the quality of the environment in urban areas, and optimizing co-benefits to school children and surrounding urban residents. Such projects shall include the planting of trees and may include converting pavement to green spaces on school campuses with a focus on child-accessible areas of campus. Projects may also include strategies such as the installment of natural features for learning and recess such as pocket forests, rain gardens, botanical gardens, natural playgrounds, food producing gardens and landscaping, outdoor classrooms as well as maintenance of planted vegetation for the duration of their expected life span. Public access is encouraged after school hours to areas identified by the campus for a specific purpose such as recreation or growing food. 


More information can be found at Urban and Community Forestry Grants Program.


California schools maintain a closed campus policy. For the safety of students, visitors are restricted from entering until receiving official permission from each school to enter a campus. Access to the data on this map in no way implies permission to enter any school campus.
