This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Environmental Justice Government-to-Government (EJG2G) Program (CFDA 66.312) provides $1,050,000 to transform the Larchmont Elementary schoolyard in Tacoma, Washington into a green space that improves community health, climate resilience, and student environmental education.
The funding will support the design, development, and programming of the new community schoolyard. The Trust for Public Land will manage the design process and implement environmental education activities, while the South End Neighborhood Council will conduct community outreach and host cleanup/tree-planting events. The expected outcomes include reduced exposure to air pollution, increased resilience to flooding and heat, and enhanced environmental literacy and advocacy skills for students and the surrounding community. The project duration is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026.
