BLAST participant and former Accelerate Climate Solutions volunteer, Sabrina Tse, is highlighted in this article about her Tiny Forest at Naperville Central.
The miniature thicket is the brainchild of senior Sabrina Tse, who devised and designed the school-appropriate forest as part of a capstone course. In the works for the better part of a year, Tse spent this past weekend bringing the idea to life with the help of classmates and teachers.
Together, they planted some 276 trees on just under 1,100 square feet of the campus. Just saplings to start, it will be a while before the forest is fully matured. But the hope, Tse says, is to eventually have the hub of greenery grow to be a self-sufficient ecosystem like any other forest you’d find across the state — just a lot smaller.
