Transformation in Worcester, Mass. In the mid-sized Central Massachusetts city of Worcester, long known for its industrial activity, city leadership has undertaken ambitious initiatives to address some of their climate resilience goals using the Miyawaki method.
Together with BSC Group and the City of Worcester, Bio4Climate planned and created two Miyawaki Forests in the heart of downtown last year, bringing together hundreds of community volunteers over multiple planting events to cool, green, and beautify the urban landscape and create a space for nature to thrive.
One forest has been planted at the Worcester Public Library at the McGrath Parking Lot, while the other is located at Plumley Village Apartments.
