This Spring, 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.
Join us for one additional planting day at Plumley Village Apartments on Wednesday, June 12 at 3pm. Come ready to get your hands in the soil and transform this landscape!
In this project we are creating pocket forests on two sites in total, at McGrath Parking Lot at the Worcester Public Library (3 Salem St, Worcester MA) and at Plumley Village (16 Laurel St, Worcester, MA — forest site is at the back of the complex, off of Prospect Street next to the basketball courts). In total we will plant over the course of six days (two have been added): Saturday April 27, Wednesday May 1, Saturday May 4, Wednesday May 8, 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.
