Registration is now open for the 2026 Northeast Miniforest Summit: Root to Canopy: Growing the Miyawaki Method
Across the Northeast and beyond, communities are planting and stewarding miniforests in schoolyards, parks, campuses, farms, urban spaces, and other underused landscapes.
This year’s Summit brings together practitioners, researchers, educators, community leaders, and forest stewards to share lessons, refine practices, and explore how miniforests can restore ecological function and reconnect people with place.
The Summit unfolds across three connected virtual and in-person events:
- July 15, 2026 – Making a Mini-Forest Documentary Screening
- July 18, 2026 – Massachusetts Miniforest Bus Tour
- July 22–23, 2026 – Virtual Summit
Join us for the Summit featuring opening keynote by Ethan Tapper, forester and author of How to Love a Forest, and closing by keynote Mio Urata, Miyawaki Method Forest Maker, alongside 20+ speakers and panelists.
