Back in November, four student leaders from the Green Team attended the Youth Climate Leadership Academy, where they launched a project inspired by the SBSD Climate Action Plan: Promote urban forests that support native pollinators Over the winter, the team rallied support, wrote a grant (and won!), and partnered with local experts to bring the project to life. After thoughtful planning and collaboration with the South Burlington Urban Forester, UVM Extension, Gardeners' Supply in Williston, and Landshapes Landscaping, the Green Team identified SBHS and Central School as top priorities for more native trees. Thanks to these amazing partners, and support from Bart Miceli and our buildings & grounds crew, seven new flowering trees were planted this morning on the SBHS campus! These trees will: ✅ Provide beauty and shade for students and staff ✅ Support pollinators near our tennis and basketball courts ✅ Help sequester carbon and lower our school's footprint Big thanks to everyone who helped make this happen! #SBProud
