Community Action
Immerse Yourself in a Food Forests for Schools
As part of Miami Climate Week, W.J. Bryan Elementary School will open to the public for an immersive Food Forest Open House. This event invites community members, advocates, and educators to see how a South Florida school is enhancing campus performance, lowering heat impacts, and strengthening long-term sustainability through nature-based solutions.
The W.J. Bryan Food Forest is a thriving, multi-layered ecosystem designed to mimic a natural woodland. Unlike a traditional community garden, this “living laboratory” maximizes vertical space to produce a high density of food while sequestering carbon and significantly reducing the “urban heat island” effect on campus.
