Community Toolkit
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to creating a healthier community. Each of our communities has its own strengths and challenges to be considered.
That’s why we’ve developed a toolkit. Whether you want to start a school garden, build a natural playground, or don’t know where to start, this guide will lead you step by step. Click the guidebook to the left to print out a guide. Then, use the links below to find more specific information for each step.
Remember that long term change takes time. But if you stay focused, patient and flexible, you have the power to create a healthier and happier community.

It supplies how-to information for people who want to create those choices. Local and state government can adopt policies that promote those choices. Click here to visit their site and learn more.
