Join the Office of Sustainability for the Miyawaki Forest Tree Planting 2.0! This exciting initiative aims to plant 2,000 native tree saplings and shrubs using the Miyawaki Method, a technique for densely planting native trees to create bio-diverse and self-sustaining forests.  Learn more at https://sustainability.uiowa.edu/miyawaki-forest.

Getting There:

Planting will take place on the southeast corner of the College of Public Health Building.

• Parking is limited, so we recommend using public transportation or carpooling.
• Newton Road Parking Ramp: Public parking available all day, but fills up quickly on weekdays. Weekend parking is usually available.

How to Participate:

Meet us at the top of the hill on the southeast side of the College of Public Health Building. Students, staff, faculty, and community members are welcome. You may come and go at your leisure. Stay for as long as you can, and help us plant as many trees as you like. If you plan to bring a large group (more than 15 people), please email sustainability@uiowa.edu.

Note: Planting days may be adjusted if planting is completed earlier than expected or due to inclement weather. Check this event at https://volunteer.unitedwayjwc.org/need/detail/?need_id=1233141.
