Explore a Miyawaki Forest in Worcester

Join the Department of Sustainability and Resilience and community advocate, Evelyn Herwitz,  for a guided tour of one of the City’s first Miyawaki Forests, planted in spring 2024 with the help of over 100 community volunteers. The Miyawaki Method is a groundbreaking reforestation approach that creates dense, biodiverse native forests - growing quickly and providing valuable ecological and human health benefits. Discover how this tiny but mighty forest is transforming the very urban landscape in the heart of the city and learn how you can be part of future efforts to green our city. Stay after the talk to volunteer and help with the maintenance of this young forest.
