The Trust for Public Land (TPL)’s Green Schoolyard initiative seeks to transform blacktop playgrounds into climate-friendly hubs for community engagement that provide important environmental services. TPL has partnered with Metro Parks Tacoma to identify neighborhoods in need of green space and rebuild 5 schoolyards by January 2023.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">ACORN has identified a project with TPL focused on the impact of schoolyard transformations (description below).

ACORN projects typically involve a time commitment of about 3 hours per week over the course of a year for each graduate student or postdoc volunteer. Prior experience related to the topic of each ACORN project is preferred, but not required. Visit our website for more information on ACORN and current ongoing projects!<b><br><br></b></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><b>About the Project<br></b>Researchers at Seattle Children’s are looking for individuals to assist with data collection for the Green Schoolyards project supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Interdisciplinary Research Leaders program (<a href="https://irleaders.org/team/team-tacoma-wa/" style="color:rgb(149,79,114)" target="_blank">https://irleaders.org/team/team-tacoma-wa/</a>).
