September 2004

Dear Colleagues,

As fellow researchers involved in projects related to green schools, we 
are writing to invite you to participate in an international greening 
schools research network. The network was inaugurated in November 2003 
by eight Canadian and US ‘green school’ grounds researchers at a meeting 
in Toronto that was hosted by Evergreen, a non-profit organization 
dedicated to urban greening.

The Toronto meeting served several purposes for us: meeting other 
researchers, learning about existing and emerging research projects, 
identifying future opportunities for support and collaboration, and 
developing an on-going informal network of professionals with shared 
interests. We presented our individual research activities and concerns, 
discussed key areas for further research in the field, selected Greening 
Schools Research Network (GSRN) as a formal name for our group and 
discussed future directions for the network.

The second meeting of GSRN took place in Copenhagen, Denmark in June 
2004. GSRN members Janet Dyment (Canada) and Mary Ellen Lewis (US), who 
were participating in the Research in Participatory Education Network 
(RIPEN) meeting in Copenhagen, met with RIPEN members Soren Breiting 
(Denmark), Marianne Krasney (US), Sun-Kyung Lee (Korea) and Alan Reid 
(UK) and discussed future possibilities for the GSRN network. We also 
discussed the possibility that GSRN might function as a working-group of 
RIPEN--researching participation in schoolyard greening projects.

As a result of these meetings GSRN members agreed to pursue three projects:

·        First, we have developed a web-based Discussion Forum, which we 
invite you to join or visit at: www.peecworks.org/GSRNshtml 
<http://www.peecworks.org/GSRN.shtml> . This forum was designed to 
encourage greening schools researchers to share ideas, pose questions, 
seek advice, share resources, and disseminate research findings. The 
GSRN home page includes a link to the GSRN Forum Archives, a link to the 
minutes from the GSRN inaugural meeting in Toronto and instructions for 
subscribing to the Discussion Forum.

The GSRN Discussion Forum is housed on the website of the Place-based 
Education Evaluation Collaborative (PEEC), a partnership of several New 
England (US) foundations and educational organizations. This listserv 
should fill a gap left by the no longer active Green Schoolyards 
Research Listserv established at the North American Association of 
Environmental Education 2002 conference in Boston which had been housed 
on the website of the National Gardening Association. Michael Duffin 
(Program Evaluation and Education Research Associates, PEER) has agreed 
to serve as list manager of the GSRN Discussion Forum.  He can be 
contacted at: [log in to unmask] 
<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.

·        Second, we are helping to coordinate a mini-thematic issue of 
the 2005 volume of the Canadian Journal of Environmental Education 
(CJEE) , which will focus on research related to ‘green school’ grounds. 
Janet Dyment (Lakehead University, Ontario, CA) has agreed to be the 
guest editor and can be contacted at: [log in to unmask] 
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> for further information.

 

·        Third, we will be hosting "Greening Schools Research Network: 
Opportunities to Collaborate" at the 2004 conference of the North 
American Association of Environmental Education (NAAEE) in Biloxi, 
Mississippi (US) on Monday, November 8, from 10:15 AM -12:00. We invite 
you to participate in our NAAEE session. (See www.naaee.org 
<http://www.naaee.org/> for conference information.) We have chosen an 
informal hands-on format to permit the sharing of individual research 
initiatives and the identification of opportunities for 
collaboration.    Mary Ellen Lewis (City University of New York, NY, US) 
has agreed to coordinate this session and can be contacted at: 
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> for further 
information.

We are planning to seek funding and support for future projects and 
possibilities for the Greening Schools Research Network.

We invite you to join or visit the GSRN Discussion Forum, read the 
“green schools” research articles in CJEE (Volume 5) and participate in 
the GSRN session, if you plan to attend the NAAEE conference in 
November. Please feel free to forward this email to colleagues you think 
might be interested.

We look forward to hearing from you, and hope you share our enthusiasm 
in launching this network.

Best wishes,

The Greening Schools Research Network (GSRN)
