 The Ways of the Heroes EP.12
Tea Nikolić

(Serbia)

Tea Nikolić noticed the continuous disappearance of green areas in Belgrade. This motivated her to found Šuma peva (The Forest is Singing), an organization that initiates collective plantings, and encourages people to plant trees in urban areas educating them on how to preserve and take care of the young trees in their neighborhoods.

“What do you need to plant a tree? Nothing but a shovel and the tree.”

“A tree’s life dynamic in the city is difficult. The biggest problem is the insufficient number of surfaces where trees can be planted.”
