Description :
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
