Mini-Forest Revolution

Using the Miyawaki Method to Rapidly Rewild the World

De: Hannah Lewis

Narrado por: Tia Rider

For listeners who enjoyed Finding the Mother Tree and The Hidden Life of Trees comes the first-ever book about a movement to restore biodiversity in our cities and towns by transforming empty lots, backyards, and degraded land into mini-forests. Author Hannah Lewis is the forest maker turning asphalt into ecosystems to save the planet, and she wants everyone to know they can do it too. In Mini-Forest Revolution, Lewis presents the Miyawaki Method, a unique approach to reforestation devised by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. She explains how tiny forests as small as six parking spaces grow quickly and are much more biodiverse than those planted by conventional methods. She explores the science behind why mini-forests work, as well as the myriad environmental benefits, including cooling urban heat islands, establishing wildlife corridors, building soil health, sequestering carbon, creating pollinator habitats, and more. Today, the Miyawaki Method is witnessing a worldwide surge in popularity. Lewis shares the stories of mini-forests that have sprung up across the globe and the people who are planting them--from a young forest along the concrete alley of the Beirut River in Lebanon, to a backyard forest planted by tiny-forest champion Shubhendu Sharma in India. This inspiring book offers a revolutionary approach to planting trees and a truly accessible solution to the climate crisis that can be implemented by communities, classrooms, cities, clubs, and families everywhere.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I agree. This is a game changer!

I found out about Miyawaki forests randomly at a dinner conversation. My interest was piqued and my life changed as I had just planted over the last few months micro native forest in our backyard. I'm so excited about Miyawaki Forests so please, read this book and start listening to podcasts about these tiny native micro forests that can heal the climate, increase, biodiversity, raise awareness, include everybody and make a significant change toward the beautiful green, sustainable, healthy, abundant world we all want to live in. Then grow one!

Game Changer

Fascinating topic that almost seems too good to be true, had it not been full of inspirational examples, testimonies, and a thorough explanation of Miyawaki’s research. It’s well written and engaging. Another arrow in the quiver or communities that want to support biodiversity, carbon sequestration, environmental education and urban beautification.

Where is the pdf????

Love this but would have gotten the kindle version if I’d known the pdf that is supposed to be with this is missing.

horrible waste of time

mostly propaganda. no real instruction. it was unwhelming at best.. just 6 hours of useless drivel
