Planting mini forests. Everywhere.
Registered Charity Number: 1194456
Take brownfield sites, plant them densely with a wide variety of native seedlings, and let them grow with minimal intervention. The result is a complex ecosystem perfectly suited to local conditions that improve biodiversity, grow quickly and absorb more CO2
Dense copses bursting with biodiversity can thrive in areas the size of a tennis court.
Known as 'Miyawaki' forests, the trees grow more quickly and absorb more CO2 than plantations grown for timber
