On Sunday, October 22, 2023, we planted Somerville's first Miyawaki forest at Somerville High School! With the help of volunteers like you, we are bringing this vision for the future of urban forestry to life.
With the help and stewardship of a core team of volunteers, the forest will grow into a self-sustaining ecosystem. Volunteers will visit the forest to remove weeds, collect any litter, and monitor the forest's health during the first 2-3 years of the forest's establishment.
Please fill out the form below to indicate your interest in joining the volunteer crew. Generally, we have been prioritizing the participation of Somerville residents and high school students, but welcome support from everybody. Feel free to contribute according to your ability - kids are encouraged to join in!
