Adults can explore how microforests can make a difference during a DeKalb Public Library program.

Microforests are areas where native fast-growing trees and shrubs typically are planted closely together to promote biodiversity and combat effects brought on by climate change and urban development.

The program will be at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 14 in the library’s lower-level Yusunas Meeting Room, 309 Oak St.

Participants can learn how microforests create healthier, more resilient and cooler communities. No registration is required.
