Overview
^{of the Schoolyard Naturalization Process}

The Outdoor Classroom. Educational Use, Landscape Design and Management of School Grounds. 1990.
Available through the Green Brick Road. (see below)
This is my favorite idea book as it is full of photographs of many school projects in Great Britain. It takes a wider view than most American resources, looking at the many possibilities for education outdoors in all subjects, and focusing on the design of human-friendly as well as animal friendly landscapes.

Learning Through Landscapes, Using School Grounds as an Educational Resource. 1990.
Available through the Green Brick Road.
A shorter, less expensive resource similar to the Outdoor Classroom listed above. Includes a step-by-step planning guide, very thoughtfully done.

Habitats for Learning, A Planning Guide for Using and Developing School Land Labs. 1995.
Ohio Department of Natural Resource. 614-265-6878.
The Ohio approach is different then any other I've seen, calling for schools to first Use, then Enhance, and lastly Develop our outdoor sites. The arguments are pretty compelling. A companion video comes with this. Ohio's list of "land labs" is impressive, with a full spectrum of projects from prairies to wetlands.

Homes for Wildlife A Planning Guide for Habitat Enhancement on School Grounds.
Marilyn Wyzga, New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. $8.00. Call 1-603-271-3211.
Specifically about creating animal habitat, this binder is comprehensive, specific, and cheap. It's especially strong in that front-end aspect of wildlife projects, the mapping and inventorying of your site.

Schoolyard Habitat Planning Guide.
National Wildlife Federation.
This pamphlet is a good resource if you just want a brief but well-designed overview with some suggestions on where to look further. Focuses on wildlife habitat creation.
