"I think it's incredibly important, especially to the school districts within the city," Pence said. "There's tons of science behind greenery, just improving childs' success rates and just the health and benefits of having the green spaces around. And so it really is just an awesome opportunity to help beautify the school and give them a lot of volunteer hours and minutes that they need to help get that work done.
"I think the kids are going to be thrilled," said Cadi Poile of the San Francisco Unified School District. "I hope the kids are thrilled. There is a direct correlation between green space and student achievement so even if they don't notice it immediately, it does help improve their mental well-being, their social well-being and their student achievement."
Hunters' nonprofit Healthy Planet Project partnered with the school district and organizations including the California Academy of Sciences and Reimagining San Francisco for the cleanup."The Tenderloin is an area that actually has very little green space, very actually has very little tree canopy cover," said Alvaro Casanova, Reimagining San Francisco program manager with the California Academy of Sciences.
