Living close
to trees boosts student academic performance.
That sounds like some tree-hugger's fanciful notion, but it’s actually
true. A new study demonstrates that
third graders who live in close proximity to vegetated green spaces score higher on standardized tests than students without green spaces nearby—even after
controlling for other factors such as socioeconomic position. Several past studies have found similar results.
So take your
kids outside. Grab a shovel. Plant a tree… or several. And read more about the study HERE.
