A Rain Garden at My Schoolyard
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are interventions that use or mimic natural processes to address societal challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainable development. Learning Scenarios integrating NBS can help students understand the benefits and potential of these solutions and encourage them to develop and implement NBS projects in their own communities. In this Learning Scenario, students learn about the benefits of rain gardens for reducing stormwater runoff and improving water quality. They design and install a rain garden in a schoolyard or in another public space, considering factors such as soil type, plant selection, and maintenance requirements.
