Green High School Campuses
cafeteria & classroom window views with greater quantities of trees and shrubs
positively associated with: standardized test scores, graduation rates %s of students planning to attend a four-year
college fewer occurrences of criminal behavior

College students with more natural views from their dorm windows scored higher on tests of capacity to direct attention rated themselves as able to function more effectively

Trees & Crime Reduction trees in the public right of
way are associated with lower crime rates smaller, view obstructing
trees are associated with increased crime
larger trees are associated with reduced crime

• preliminary - still under peer review for publication
• life course focus
• subset of all metro nature findings
• the best current valuation prospects
• numbers rather small – why?
Caveats and Conditions
![Page 27: To Your Good Health!: Exploring the Links Between Urban Forestry, Remote Sensing and Economics](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062708/558c16add8b42ab2558b460e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• little crossover of natural resources and public health methods
• spotty local health data sources
• equivalent geographic scale of datasets:
• < 1m for vegetation
• neighborhood or block for health
• precision of vegetation assessment . . . (may need more than canopy)
Valuation Challenges . . . .
