The Miyawaki method of reforestation uses much of what we know in progressive western science to plant biodiverse climax forests that don’t need to be watered or maintained in any other ways after 3 years. As this valuable method for biodiversity preservation spreads around the world, it disproves some of the mythologies in our culture about how ecosystems work that universities and giant industries are still perpetuating, and confirms the universal Indigenous wisdom of interconnectedness in Nature. Come learn about the method and the potential it offers for restoring native biodiversity, buffering communities from climate extremes, cultural preservation, urban greening, and green infrastructure.
