Happy New Year, Dear Miyawaki Cheerleaders
Action Calendar: (a new feature proposed by one of the cheerleaders)
Propagation by Cuttings:
This Sunday January 9, 2022 at 10:30am at the Birdhouse near Paulik Park, we will hold a free quick 20-30 min workshop on how to propagate shrubs and trees by cuttings during winter
This is a BYOPS (Bring Your Own Pruning Shears) event but no worries: we will share whatever shows up amongst each other . Come around to the backyard directly. no RSVP needed but it is welcome
The Birdhouse is located near the corner of General Currie and Ash Street: 7391 Ash street

Ontario-BC Miyawaki Zoom Meetup on Tuesday Jan 11 (if you are not already aware of this and wish to attend, let me know) ... people from Richmond, Vancouver and Ontario will discuss Miyawaki Forests in Canada
or visit their website at https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/d3e6a2b5490c4387b3479b9e44b0c67a?views=view_34 which is where they plan to list all Miyawaki Forests in Canada
Other News:
Sabine keeps finding gems in the world press. One which I found particularly interesting is:

3 trees visible from every home
30% tree cover in every neighbourhood
300 meters safe pedestrian access to nearest green space (at least 1 hectare)
