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.
