Paulstowns Pocket Forest

A Pocket Forest is a small area of densely planted native trees, shrubs and ground cover. Our aim is to bring a forest ecosystem to the heart of towns and cities. Pocket Forests co-create healthy biodiverse spaces in urban areas which can help alleviate several growing problems: flooding, drought, biodiversity loss and the wellbeing of deprived urban communities. Through learning-while-doing workshops we aim to help people to feel like they belong in shared green spaces and can be part of a community of neighbours who enjoy the benefits of connecting with nature on their doorsteps.

A large Pocket Forest is planted in an area of 25square metres (5mx5m). We plant 75 native trees and shrubs using at least 12 different species.

The Pocket Forests team of Amy, Ashe and Catherine will lead the workshops to engage residents in co-creating the shared green amenities. Another aim is to improve residents well-being, sense of community and stewardship of shared areas and feel a part of the climate crisis solution.

the impact the pocket forest has had on the community is it has created a discussion around biodiversity and our local environment. The pocket forest is situated on a walking loop around the village and people are observed reading the signage and identifying the species involved. it is flourishing as can be seen by the photos attached and was commended on our recent Tidy Towns report.

The group objective is to develop a Pocket Forest adjacent to the roundabout at the ring road on the Dublin Road. This is an area of waste land.

Seed funding will be spend on initial site securing tree saplings and bushes. This seed funding will be supported by other monies received by the group through fundraising. See photo below, missing from photo is John Hennessy (not on social media) and Tom Brennan
