You were there to help us launch this concept of bringing nature indoors into classrooms. To bring the 40+ years of existing science that shows a myriad of mental health benefits to looking at trees or photographs of trees. It calms us, helps us focus and communicate. As we enter our fifth year we are begnining to make inroads into the education setting. The pandemic oddly enough has helped bring out the psychological benefits of having tree ceiling murals in classrooms. It has created mental health issues in about 25% of students, accoriding to the Journal of Medicine. The trees help kids manage anxiety.
The big milestone we have reached is establishing a partnership with SiteLogiq. A company that builds and refurbishes schools around the country. We will be installing ceilings in seven libraries at the Corning Union Elementary School District norht of Sacramento, and this is just the beginning.
A summary of our journey you helped start was published this week by Canvas Rebel Magazine, check it out on the link provided and thank you again for your help!
