                                                    The Green Tree Project    
      In 1996, 39 American children started a very interesting project—the Green Tree Project. The 
students began the project by gathering walnuts (核桃) in the fall. The nuts were buried (理) in cages
 in the school garden in mid-November. In this way, the seeds could be kept cool and moist (潮濕) for
 several months before they started growing. In February, the seeds were dug up,so they could begin to 
sprout (發芽). Sprouted seeds were kept in fridges, so they could be stopped from growing until the
 time to plant. This helped in paper soft drink cups. Each student was asked to plant 12 trees. Then the
 trees were carefully watered and watched. The first walnut trees began to appear in about a week. 
The students found this part of the project very exciting. On April 29th, the trees were transplanted (移
植)to the lake. It took them only 90 minutes to plant all the trees. It was so interesting to see treeless
 area turn into forest right before their eyes!
