The Problem

By creating a microforest at Irby Park we are expediating the removal of invasive species that fill the park. We're hoping to change the way people look at \"landscaping\". To understand that a tree is not the only important part of an ecosystem. That is part of a guild of herbs, vines, shrubs , etc and that we can revitalize our small spaces to be more like wild spaces and therefore reversing climate change.

Our Plan

Plant a microforest at Irby park with an elementary green team. My son Keats Hering will lead both the education and the planting day.
