_{Schools are more than places of learning - they’re powerful hubs for leadership and change.}

Every lunch sorted, every faucet turned off, and every student inspired contributes to Woodland’s citywide efforts to:

• Reduce waste and landfill use
• Cut greenhouse gas emissions
• Conserve water and energy
• Keep our streets and waterways pollution free

By teaching and modeling sustainable practices, schools create a ripple effect that extends to all Woodland residents. Together, we can help students understand the "why" behind these efforts and inspire them to become lifelong stewards of their environment.
