THE GOAL: Together, we will plant native plants that will grow a mature, biodiverse, and self-sustaining California forest in a fraction of the usual time.
BUT WHY A MICRO-FOREST? In hyper-urban LA, we need native ecosystems that support wildlife and Micro-forests can bring nature back — FAST. QUICK HABITAT. LESS WEEDING. MICRO-FORESTS WORK.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Bring your family and friends for a day of mulching, prepping and great karma!
