If we plant them close together\, generally 2-3 feet apart\, we can create a diverse ecosystem bursting with life that also soaks up stormwater and CO 2 from the atmosphere. We also gain unexpected benefits\, like less mainte nance and shockingly fast growth rates.\n\nDuring this webinar\, Basil Ca mu from Leaf &\; Limb will teach us the approach he and his colleagues use for planting and maintaining pocket forests\, one that has been sharp ened to balance ecological requirements and real-world budget constraints. \n\nHe'll also teach us how to use the same methodology to create a new ty pe of privacy row\, one that supports an abundance of birds and insects. T hese are called thickets (or hedgerows in the UK)\, and they provide great er resilience in the face of new pests. He'll also share fun touches\, lik e adding edible natives such as blueberries and Chickasaw plum that we and our neighbors can enjoy together.\n\nAs a bonus\, once we learn these app roaches\, we'll discuss ways we can collect seeds and grow our own sapling s in easy-to-construct air-pruning beds. Better yet\, we can invite friend s and neighbors to join the fun! Growing trees together is a wonderful way to have fun\, teach others\, and get them involved in what are becoming g lobal efforts to help heal Earth.\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lexcan.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/up loads_5099f180-f6c0-491e-bba0-baa5e54af922_Wildr-Places-logo-stacked-black .png CATEGORIES:Educational,Nature & Ecology,Virtual LOCATION:https://www.eventcreate.com/e/pocketforestswebinar?utm_source=Wild r&utm_campaign=feed7f097a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2026_09_09_09_48&utm_medium=email &utm_term=0_-feed7f097a-563210620&mc_cid=feed7f097a&mc_eid=9dd4c023ff END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
