MNIPL Winter Book Club: Mini-Forest Revolution
This winter, MNIPL is launching a Winter Book Club to read inspiring works speaking to this moment in our collective climate crisis. If you’ve been wondering how to access hope for your continued work on climate action, these books are for you! Please join us!
Every month January – March, we’ll read a recent book to learn about innovative approaches to addressing climate change and to discuss how these ideas could work in our local context.
Mini-Forest Revolution is about a movement to restore biodiversity in our cities and towns by transforming empty lots, backyards, and degraded land into mini-forests. Author Hannah Lewis is the forest maker turning asphalt into ecosystems to save the planet and she wants everyone to know they can do it too.
In this session, we will talk about our reactions to the book, and possibilities for employing mini-forests to benefit our communities and climate.
No time to read? These videos and audio discussions share the central ideas.
