Conservation Conversations at Birdcraft
Thursday, February 12, 2026;  7 p.m.
Presenter: Mary Ellen LeMay, Aspetuck Land Trust

Miyawaki Forests, developed by botanist Akira Miywaki, are micro-forests densely planted with diverse native species. Some Miyawaki forests are less than 100 square feet but still provide resources for birds and other wildlife. Mary Ellen Lemay of the Aspetuck Land Trust will discuss Miyawaki Forests in Connecticut: where they are, how they are planted, and where to begin if you want to plant your own Miyawaki Forest.

Members $10; Non-members $15. Registration required; please register here.

This program is held at the Birdcraft Museum and Sanctuary, 314 Unquowa Road, Fairfield, CT.
