What can hold hundreds of species, sequester 500 lbs. CO2/year, and soak up lots of rainwater, is several degrees cooler than its surroundings, and is co-created by children and their elders in spaces no bigger than a tennis court? A “mini-forest” planted using the Miyawaki Method, of course! After a few years of as-needed weeding and watering, these nascent forests form a canopy and – like any other healthy ecosystem – become self-sufficient. We’ll discuss what a mini-forest is, what it can do for your neighborhood, what goes into planting one, and why people all over the world are organizing their communities to plant mini-forests in the small spaces around where they live and work.
