Come join the Green Pocket Forests group and the City of Berkeley Urban Forestry Unit to plant a new Miyawaki Forest in South Berkeley.
Note: this event will take place the same time as another City-hosted tree planting event at San Pablo Park.
We have been working hard to prepare this site to grow a small but mighty pocket forest.
The Miyawaki Method uses dense planting of native species to establish fast-growing urban micro-forests with high survival rates and low water demand. The method improves biodiversity, reduces heat, and restores ecological function in small urban spaces.
Location: Corner of Adeline St. And MLK Jr. Way. There is no exact address for this site, however it is directly next door to the Bus Lab at 3407 Adeline St, Berkeley, CA 94703.
Parking: street parking is available in surrounding areas, including a small parking lot across Adeline near Sweet Adeline Bake Shop.
Cycling: permanent bike racks are available across the street in the parking area near Sweet Adeline Bake Shop.
Public Transportation: the site located 0.4 miles from the Ashby BART station. The AC Transit 12 bus line offers a stop right at the planting site.
