The Clinic team created a mobile app that encourages elementary-age children to engage with nature in their local communities, through lessons, games, and activities. The app launched on March 12, 2022 at a state-wide tree planting event celebrating California\u2019s Arbor Day. Sponsors hope families continue to use the app after the event to monitor their urban forest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Urban Forests Council\/The Britton Fund Computer Science, 2021\u201322 Liaison(s): Cynthia Chavez, Christopher Crippen, Joey Crippen, Deb Etheredge, Linda Mendez, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[708,705,140],"tags":[662],"class_list":["post-13254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-climate-2","category-climate","category-computer-science","tag-california-urban-forests-council-the-britton-fund"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13254"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13323,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13254\/revisions\/13323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/clinic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
