Pocket Forests are inspired by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawake. His development of Miyawake-style forests combines densely planted young native trees and shrubs to mimic forest conditions in urban settings. This method produces fast growing multi-layered forests which enables people who plant them to enjoy the fruits of their labour sooner. Planting diverse species helps create biodiverse habitat for birds, insects and mammals (including humans!) in the urban areas where they are most lacking.
Pocket Forest allows communities to reconnect with nature, empowers people to create healthy resilient habitats using recycled waste materials and native plants.
