#MiniForests
Over the river and through the woods to fungus-resistant chestnut trees and miniforests we go. 🎶🌳

Scientists are creating hybrids to increase the chestnut tree population. Plus, communities are using the Miyawaki method to plant miniforests.
Into the Woods, From Chestnut Genetics To Tiny Forests
Genetic research could speed the restoration of the American chestnut tree. Plus, "rewilding" small spaces with fast-growing miniforests.

Our Citizen Science team is taking root!🌱

Made up of volunteers, ecology experts & #TreeEquity Ambassadors, our #CitizenScience program seeks to track the overall forest health & growth of our #MiniForests as well as engage the broader community around biodiversity and the important role of trees!

Cool episode of @scifri.bsky.social about rewilding urban areas by planting native mini-forests. I love the idea of a 4m x 4m pocket of forest generating its own microclimate.

Urban tree cover, agroforestry, conservation woodlands, miniforests, woodland meadows, etc. it’s all of them and you can’t show it all in a single photo.

A shout out to our mighty NatureNode from Green Communities Canada about the great work they're doing on #MiniForests right here in Calgary! greencommunitiescanada.org/calgary-clim...
Calgary Climate Hub Transforms An Industrial Landscape With A Mini Forest - Green Communities Canada
They transformed a 200m2 area at the Calgary Centre for Spiritual Living, located in the Manchester industrial area, with 800 native trees, shrubs, and forbs.
