Miyawaki Adventures
This is part of Miyawaki Adventures, a hands-on climate action program where people come together to plant small, dense and fast-growing native forests inspired by the Miyawaki Method.
These Pocket Forests enhance biodiversity, accelerate carbon sequestration, and improve soil health. In just one day, participants learn how to design, plant, and measure the impact of these forests, leaving behind something that grows long after they leave.
Grow with Us. Be part of a community reimagining what green spaces can be. From planting pocket forests to joining seasonal events, workshops, and hands-on learning opportunities, this is your chance to see these forests come to life, rooted in the Miyawaki Method. Sign up for our newsletter to stay connected, volunteer, and witness the transformation, one tree at a time.
Meet the folks behind the planting of this pocket forest, hands in the soil, hearts in the work, and a shared vision for a better future. (May, 2025)
