The Bio4Climate Annual Miniforest Summit on July 22 and 23 brings together municipal leaders, researchers, designers, educators, students, scientists,
and community members to exchange research, emerging questions, and field-based experience. Registration is now open for the 2026 Northeast Miniforest Summit: Root to Canopy: Growing the Miyawaki Method

Across the Northeast and beyond, communities are planting and stewarding miniforests in schoolyards, parks, campuses, farms, urban spaces, and other underused landscapes.

This year’s Summit brings together practitioners, researchers, educators, community leaders, and forest stewards to share lessons, refine practices, and explore how miniforests can restore ecological function and reconnect people with place.

The goals of the summit are to:
Create long-term regional infrastructure
Accelerate and expand knowledge of miniforests
Build community
Create momentum to build a thriving miniforest network across the Northeastern United States and beyond
