Urban Forest
|
| The vacant lot which is located at the corner of Brown St. and 49th St, is selected for the site of the nursery. It is next to the community gardens and near the Aspen farm garden. The nursery is an outdoor classroom for the students in the Sulzberger Middle School and grows street trees which will develop to an urban forest. |
| The project for the students in the middle school is that every 3-4 students take care of a branched whip or seedlings of one species of trees with a member of their families or a sponsor. Every approximately 33 students (one class) will have their own trees row. After 3 years, the students start to transplant the trees to the sidewalks. The first species to be transplanted is Linden and the first place where they plant the trees is the blocks around the nursery. Then two blocks one time, twice per year, the trees spread out from the nursery evenly to the whole Mill Creek Neighborhood to form the urban forest. The first day when they plant the trees is the tree festival in the Mill Creek Neighborhood. They will pick the seeds from the grown-up trees and plant them in the nursery. |
