Ann Arbor-Saline Area Pocket Forest Tour

Ann Arbor-Saline Area Pocket Forest Tour

Join us on Tuesday for a tour of the Miyawaki-inspired mini-forests of our area, to learn from the experiences of the creators. Tour is put together by TreeTown Urban Forest Team at Pocketforests.org.

A representative of each forest will be on hand to introduce us to their project and answer questions. Note: this is not a garden tour (the forests are just getting started!), rather it’s a chance for forest-makers to share their experiences thus far. Join us at as many of the locations as your schedule allows. See this map of the route. Specific directions for locating the first three forests will be sent to registrants closer to the date.
