Mini-Forest Revolution Summary

Mini-Forest Revolution: Using the Miyawaki Method to Rapidly Rewild the World by Hannah Lewis

'There may be no single climate solution that has a greater breadth of benefits than mini-forests...[and] can be done by everyone everywhere.' Paul Hawken, from the foreword

Are you ready to join the movement to restore biodiversity in our cities and towns by transforming degraded and underused urban land into forests that can help heal the planet?

In Mini-Forest Revolution, Hannah Lewis presents the Miyawaki Method, a unique approach to reforestation devised by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. Lewis explains how tiny forests, as small as six parking spaces, can grow quickly and offer rich biodiversity and environmental benefits - much more so than forests planted by conventional methods.

Today, the Miyawaki Method is witnessing a worldwide surge in popularity. Lewis shares stories of mini-forests that have sprung up across the globe and the people who are planting them - from a 'Forest of Thanks' in East London, to a mini-forest along the concrete alley of the Beirut River in Lebanon, to a backyard project planted by tiny-forest champion Shubhendu Sharma in India.

Mini-Forest Revolution offers a revolutionary approach to planting trees and a truly accessible solution to the climate crisis that can be implemented by communities, classrooms, cities, companies, clubs, and families everywhere.

Mini-Forest Revolution Reviews

My late friend and colleague, Professor Akira Miyawaki, wanted nothing more than to repair the forests of the world. He wanted trees in the ground, as do I. This book would make him happy.-Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author of To Speak for the Trees


We cannot solve problems by succumbing to fear and anger, and yet so much of the climate conversation is powered by the fearful narrative of a dying planet. In Mini-Forest Revolution, Hannah Lewis offers a different story-one that is authentic, honest, and powered by love. Her writing provides the inspiration, motivation, and recipe for working with nature rather than against it; for gathering our courage and creating the world we imagine.-Shubhendu Sharma, founder and director of Afforestt


Imagine a world where every modest scrap of worn-out dirt or asphalt-think tennis-court-size-can become a cooling, moisture-circulating, air-cleansing, wildlife-nurturing forest within a few years. Mini-Forest Revolution shows how ordinary citizens can embrace this trowel-ready solution, and are doing so even under the harshest, sun-bleached conditions.-Judith D. Schwartz, author of The Reindeer Chronicles
