‘There may be no single climate solution that has a greater
breadth of benefits than mini-forests…[and] can be done by
everyone everywhere.’ Paul Hawken, from the foreword Are you
ready to join the movement to restore biodiversity in our cities
and towns by transforming degraded and underused urban land into
forests that can help heal the planet? In Mini-Forest Revolution,
Hannah Lewis presents the Miyawaki Method, a unique approach to
reforestation devised by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. Lewis
explains how tiny forests, as small as six parking spaces, can grow
quickly and offer rich biodiversity and environmental benefits –
much more so than forests planted by conventional methods. Today,
the Miyawaki Method is witnessing a worldwide surge in popularity.
Lewis shares stories of mini-forests that have sprung up across the
globe and the people who are planting them – from a ‘Forest of
Thanks’ in East London, to a mini-forest along the concrete alley
of the Beirut River in Lebanon, to a backyard project planted by
tiny-forest champion Shubhendu Sharma in India. Mini-Forest
Revolution offers a revolutionary approach to planting trees and a
truly accessible solution to the climate crisis that can be
implemented by communities, classrooms, cities, companies, clubs,
and families everywhere.
