This April and May, we are planting the first two Miyawaki Forests in Worcester, MA. These dense, biodiverse, native pocket forests will bring cooling, beauty, and resilience to the urban landscape. Come join in the fun as a planting volunteer: sign up here!
We will plant two sites, McGrath Parking Lot at the Worcester Public Library (3 Salem St, Worcester MA) and Plumley Village (16 Laurel St, Worcester, MA). In total we will plant over the course of four days: Saturday April 27, Wednesday May 1, Saturday May 11, and Saturday May 18, so sign up to join one or more events. Learn more about the project, made possible by the MA Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness program and the City of Worcester, in partnership with Biodiversity for a Livable Climate and BSC Group.
