We collected and analyzed preliminary survey data for central New Jersey municipalities relating to participants&rsquo; perceptions of public green spaces, quality, and usage and relating these factors to environmental knowledge and literacy.&nbsp; Results have yielded new insights into the role of urban canopy cover in differing levels of environmental literacy.&nbsp; Included in this, persons living in areas with higher canopy cover have higher levels of environmental literacy (p=0.0338) and higher educational attainment (p=0.049).&nbsp; Persons with access to higher quality parks also exhibited higher levels of educational attainment (p=0.0475).This relationship and others collectively would support there being multiple types of environmental literacy, with diverse sources, impacts, and outcomes on individuals and communities.&nbsp; Work done to this point has not addressed this idea, nor sought to study the connections between EL and all influencing socio-cultural and landscape factors.</span></span>
