What are you doing on October 24th?? 😊🌳💚

The ground is prepped and the date is set — join us on October 24 to help plant over 350 trees and shrubs in a 100m² space at GreenUP Ecology Park! ⁠

This Little Forest (or 'Miyawaki' Forest) will provide habitat for wildlife, increase biodiversity, capture carbon, provide shade, and demonstrate what can be accomplished by planting trees densely.⁠
