Plant a small forest, heal our climate, grow a legacy

What we do

We plant Miyawaki mini forests on small urban plots, from school grounds, and university campuses, to community spaces. We also plant Miyawaki in rural settings, tailoring the principles to suit the land. The Miyawaki method is proven to have 68% higher survival, 10% faster growth, and significantly richer biodiversity than standard planting.

For nearly every problem we face, Nature, with the benefit of billions of years of evolution, has already provided us with the solutions.

Tree planting events

A planting day starts with bare ground and ends with a forest of saplings. Volunteers bring their friends and families. People from different backgrounds and ages come together in real community through the process of digging, planting and staking.

There was something quietly powerful about the moment – people from different backgrounds coming together to place saplings of 18 species into the soil. Today, those saplings are small, but in a few decades they will stand as a forest. That long view is something I deeply admire about the work Dream For Trees is doing.

We make sure that our planting method is adaptable and bespoke – there is no such thing as a perfect site, and we would always rather put trees in the ground where space permits.

Planting with Dream For Trees was one of the most meaningful climate actions I’ve taken – immediate, tangible and genuinely hopeful.

Most of our operations are based in the UK, but we have planted as far afield as Portugal and Thailand. Dream For Trees believes in right tree for the right place and would always rather plant somewhere than nowhere.
