Abstract
In a prospective intervention study with a two years follow-up we investigated the benefits of greening school grounds on various domains of children’s wellbeing and functioning. Ten schools, situated in the western part of
The Netherlands, with approximately 800 children (age 7-9) took part in the project. At a pre-measurement in spring 2014 nine school grounds were paved, one school ground was green. Five more schools greened their school ground between pre-measurement and the first follow-up in spring 2015.
