Central Park,Michael Blvd, Whitby, ON L1N 5Y4

Be part of the beginning of a mini forest! The Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Program (SNAP) is creating a mini forest at Central Park (Michael Blvd, Whitby, ON L1N 5Y4). We are looking for volunteers to help prepare the site by layering cardboard, soil, and mulch on Saturday, June 20, 2026, from 10 am to 12 pm. Planting will take place later this year.

No experience needed. Volunteers should be comfortable with light to moderate physical activity, such as:

  • Using basic tools like shovels, rakes, or wheelbarrows
  • Lifting and carrying materials (up to ~20 lbs / 9 kg)
  • Standing, bending, and moving around for the duration of the event

All tools, materials, and guidance will be provided. Accessible tasks and flexible volunteer roles are available.

Registration is required. Please register through Volunteer Durham, the SNAP website, or by sending your full name and email address to snapwhitby@cloca.com.

What are mini forests? Mini forests are dense, fast-growing pockets of native trees and shrubs, planted using locally adapted techniques inspired by the Miyawaki method. Designed to mimic the layered structure of a native forest, mini forests establish quickly and become self-sustaining within 2–3 years. Despite their small size, mini forests can support rich biodiversity, store significant carbon, and provide a range of benefits that strengthen climate resilience in urban spaces.
