UB Sustainability, along with UB Facilities and the Department of Environments and Sustainability, are working on cultivating a Miyawaki Mini Forest on campus. This seminar aims to inform and involve UB’s student body about their role in this process. We will cover the scientific evidence and planning process that justify this project. The Miyawaki Method is already being implemented worldwide as a better way to reforest. Through service and thoughtful environmentalism, we hope to invest in real ecosystems right here on campus.
