Mini Forest Training is a free, self-paced online course designed for community groups, municipalities, schools, and non-profits ready to green their neighbourhoods and restore nature in urban spaces. The goal of this course is to build the skills and confidence needed to lead a successful Mini Forest project, and to support new coordinators through their first community planting event.

If you’re new to the concept of Mini Forests, you can learn more on our Mini Forests page or explore our What is a Mini Forest? resource for an overview of the method and its benefits.
