Learn how Akira Miyawaki’s method of creating small fast-growing urban forests encourages the growth of complex native habitats, to boost biodiversity and combat climate change.

Little forests created using the Miyawaki method feature carefully-selected native trees and plants in multiple layers, growing faster and more densely than in traditional forest replanting. Once established the forest becomes self-sustaining. Master Gardener Joyce Hostyn shows how her own front yard little forest is an ever-changing conversation with the land, in which her initial design was modified by squirrels and birds. Maureen Buchanan, a member of Kingston Indigenous Languages Nest, talks about weaving the Indigenous wordview into the Miyawaki concept.

Learn how little forests can teach us to rethink our relationship to the land. Become part of a Little Forest Community!
