Grow Local for the Planet, in collaboration with Wright-Locke Farm, is starting Winchester’s own “Miyawaki” or Fast Forest! (the third one in Massachusetts) This involves transforming a bit of low habitat-value wetlands at Wright-Locke Farm into a high-value mature forest in 30 years rather than the typical 150 years.
We will be planting In April 2024.
Be part of regenerating a Fast Forest by volunteering or donating. Mother Earth, local pollinators and wildlife will thank you!
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach to food and farming systems which focuses on restoring the soil as a means to reverse climate change. Rebuilding soil organic matter & soil biodiversity results in carbon sequestration, increased wildlife corridors, increased nutrient density in our food, improved water cycle and increased crop resilience.
