Miyawaki Method Revegetation

Planning for this project started in 2024. We identified an area needing revegetation, collected local seeds, germinated seedlings, and researched the Miyawaki Method of creating a mini-forest. In May 2025, we started putting plants in the ground. In this project we are trialing three different kinds of mulching.
