Base of Operations

About:

The Forêt Capitale Forest Base of Operations is home to FCF’s many afforestation projects. We conduct various afforestation research and demonstration projects that help us adapt our approach to the best afforestation practices specific to the National Capital Region. Key projects include our Lawn Conversion Guilds to showcase examples of how residents can transform small plots into dynamic, biodiverse, food-producing and self-sustaining spaces, various Tiny Forests planted using the Miyawaki method of afforestation specialized for small, urban spaces, the Red Barn Community Food Forest, and a public interactive walking path. The Base of Operations has slowly been planted since the inception of Forêt Capitale Forest in 2020.
