Trees are one of our greatest allies in combating the effects of climate change, but is reforestation achievable in time scales that will make a difference? Register to join the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University on Sunday, February 23 at 2 pm in the Hunnewell Building Lecture Hall to explore the Miyawaki Method for ecological restoration. This innovative approach accelerates the growth of new ecosystems, transforming disturbed land into mature, stable forests in a fraction of the time. Using high density planting, the Miyawaki Method rapidly restores biodiversity and fosters the development of tall, mature forests. Biodiversity for a Livable Climate (BLC), a local organization dedicated to mitigating climate change through ecological restoration, established the first Miyawaki forest in the Northeast in Cambridge in 2021. Join Alexandra Ionescu, Associate Director of Regenerative Projects at BLC, to gain insights into this pioneering technique and her organization’s ongoing efforts to establish Miyawaki forests in the Boston area.
