Biodiversity for a Livable Climate presents the second annual Northeast Miniforest Summit — bringing together more than 20 speakers, practitioners, researchers, landscape architects, and community organizers for virtual sessions on July 15 and 18 and an in-person bus tour of Massachusetts miniforests on July 22–23, 2026.
This year's Summit brings together practitioners and researchers from across the growing miniforest movement, including keynote speakers Ethan Tapper, bestselling author of How to Love a Forest, and Mio Urata, a Japanese Miyawaki forester with over 20 years of experience restoring forests worldwide. Alongside 20+ speakers and panelists, they'll share what's being learned on the ground — from soil science and stewardship to community organizing and policy — as the Miyawaki Method takes root across the Northeast.
Join for any event!
