We create urban micro forests that offer biodiversity and climate mitigation solutions.
About
Micro forests offer an exciting unique solution to today’s many environmental problems by sequestering carbon, increasing biodiversity, engaging the local community and seeding the ancient forests of tomorrow - all in one go! We believe micro (and macro!) forests offer a genuine and authentic alternative to help companies and institutions worldwide have a direct impact on their local environment and communities. While it could perhaps be said some carbon credits are slightly faceless and disconnected from the goal, micro forest funding and creation is personal, authentic and locally beneficial. Often just the size of a tennis court, but containing 600 trees, micro forests are tiny stand alone forests that create incredible biodiversity. As the mini forests are rapid to establish and essentially maintenance free , they can be created in any environment and thrive in urban areas. Our pioneering methods of forest creation, based on the Miyawaki method, are unique and adaptable to any situation from suburban England to arid deserts and can create growth at least 5 - 10x faster than monoculture tree planting while creating a biodiversity haven often 100 times more diverse.
Key Benefits
Dense healthy forest will heal our environment, create biodiversity and reconnect communities with nature. Areas of forest will also sequester huge amounts of Co2, clean the atmosphere, remove dangerous particle matter and heavy metals, while emitting bountiful oxygen. Micro forests have all the benefits of primal forests but on a local impactful level. Typically the size of a tennis court and planted with 600 native trees, we can achieve ultra rapid vibrant growth in all environments using the Miyawaki method of afforestation. The process allows for virtually no upkeep and the forests are maintenance free in as little as 3 years. Biodiversity is rapidly established and allowed to flourish. Even in busy urban areas biodiversity oases will form and prosper. Our micro forests grow quickly and vibrantly so the environment and community can benefit from the word go.
Applications
We can help organisations and brands with ESG obligations and visibility. Carbon capture and biodiversity creation in urban areas as well as addressing pollution and storm water run off. Green wash visibility - micro forest creation, particularly in an urban environment, is a highly visible and impactful way to raise the environmental credentials of brands and organisations, while improving the quality of the work space too.
