Little Forests Durham is pleased to announce a new and exciting partnership with Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA), Trees for Life, and the Town of Whitby to plant a Miyawaki Mini-Forest in Whitby!

Join us for a fun day of tree planting at the Heber Down Conservation Area! Thanks to a large group of community volunteers, the site was prepared in August 2025 by laying down cardboard, spreading compost and mulch. These materials have been settling over the last few months, creating a nutrient-rich site for the 600 trees and shrubs to be planted. This is a great opportunity to get outdoors, connect with nature, and make a positive impact on the environment. No experience necessary, just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to get your hands dirty!
