Transform Your Urban Spaces with Micro Forests

Join the Rye Nature Center and Plan it Wild for a workshop on implementing Micro Forests.

Learn how to transform urban spaces into thriving ecological havens. The event features a presentation on Micro Forest planting, followed by a tour of two different Micro Forests. A virtual option is available for the presentation.

Micro Forests restore open and unused urban areas, such as pocket parks, schools, and yards, back to ecological health. Plan it Wild will share their expertise.
