What’s a microforest, and why did we plant one at a school in Yonkers? With the incredible support of the Barack Obama School for Social Justice and the help of student and community volunteers, we planted nearly 400 native trees in a single day! 💪 A microforest is a dense, fast-growing forest designed to: -Absorb more carbon -Boost local biodiversity -Provide shade and cool the surrounding area -Grow in even the smallest urban spaces 🎥 Watch our short video to see the full story: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aO0QJ1mz9YI 💬 Let us know in the comments: Have you ever seen or helped plant a microforest?
