Micro forests

Small urban forests help cities prepare for and adapt to the impacts of climate change and population increases.

Vancouver’s micro forests:

  • Are small, densely planted areas designed to mimic a local forest ecosystem
  • Have high biodiversity and a multi-layered structure, offering several ecological and social benefits

These micro forests are inspired by other efforts at ecological reforestation, including the Miyawaki method, and aim to offer opportunities for study, cultural practice, and access to nature in the city.
