Virtual | 2025 Northeast Miniforest Summit Meet our Northeast Miniforest Summit opening keynote speakers! Hannah Lewis, Author of Mini-Forest Revolution Keynote: The Miyawaki Method: Past, Present, Future In this opening keynote address, Hannah will present what the Miyawaki Method is, who Akira Miyawaki was, how this practice became a global phenomenon, and mini-forests as a mechanism for embracing and understanding ecology. Doug Tallamy, Professor of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware and co-founder of Homegrown National Park Keynote: Miniforests as part of the Homegrown National Park Doug will address the ecological potential of miniforests. Urban centers have never been seriously considered for conservation, yet adding productive native plants to our cities can help manage the watershed, support complex communities of pollinators, support local food webs, and sequester carbon. Evidence is mounting that mini forests can meet all of these essential ecological goals. Spread virtually across two days and an in-person bus tour, the Northeast Minforest Summit brings together practitioners, researchers, and leaders from a range of disciplinary perspectives—including city officials, landscape architects, scientists, and community organizers—to explore the Miyawaki method from root to canopy.
