Rae Warner Speaker Series: Richmond’s Little Forests of Hope
The Garden City Conservation Society grew out of a community movement to protect the Garden City Lands in Richmond, BC—136 acres of green space in the city centre once slated for high-density development and now preserved as city-owned parkland.
In response to ongoing ecological loss, the Society chose action over lament, launching the planting of biodiverse Miyawaki mini-forests—small, densely planted native forests that help communities bring nature back into their neighbourhoods.
Through partnerships, mentorship, and hands-on planting, this growing movement is restoring urban biodiversity and offering a hopeful antidote to eco-anxiety. Join us to learn how communities can take meaningful action for nature.

This Speaker Series will be offered in-person (in the Guide Classroom in the Visitor Centre) and online (over Zoom).
