Schools can be greened inside and out. One popular approach to greening a school's grounds is to design, create and certify a schoolyard habitat. The National Wildlife Federation has supported and certified 3,300 U.S. schoolyard habitats (June of 2009) and the US Fish and Wildlfie Service likewise supports schools in the development of on-site habitat study areas.
