How it Works

“By rewilding the five water catchments in town, we tackle the water crisis that the town has suffered for over two decades.”

“We call it the Cater Bean locally. It is a very fast growing tree; Right now, most of them stand 3 meters or above.

The seeds produce an oil that’s very important culturally and can be used in traditional medicines.”

“Tu’paxin will be a place where we educate our children about traditional foods and medicines, and our connections to the natural world. Designed as a medicine wheel with the children at the center, it will be an  ideal classroom for young minds. I dream of also hosting a Master Gardeners class at my site in the future.”


“The Forest is covered under a layer of snow. We made sure to mulch well so our trees don’t freeze.”

"Creating a forest is not done alone. We’re grateful to the Yakama community."

“Maruvan will be a destination for anyone  in India who’s in researching native trees, seeds as well as techniques for reforestation on arid terrain.”

In the last one year, we have learned that with just a little positive human intervention, nature bounces back at an exponential rate. 
This is a great example of how land devastated can be brought back to its natural equilibrium and restored to its natural glory.

Maruvan

“With the right attention we can nurture a barren space to become a model of natural diversity and abundance.  The way we treat the life around us is a reflection of ourselves. For the long term wellbeing of our planet and ensuring healthy communities we need to care for life in the soil, and enliven the return of nature's bounty.”


"Part of the philosophy that we have is to bring a type of rehabilitation program that would get them out of the detention setting." 

Healing Forest

“The Leaders of the Borough of Barking & Dagenham, TCV, NatWest and SUGi have come together to create the largest Miyawaki Forest in the UK as a symbol of resilience, hope, and healing for the local community and the UK as a whole. It’s a very special moment for all of us.”

"We are so honored to work with the Barking & Dagenham council to create the largest Miyawaki forest in the UK and Europe! Special thanks to Gareth for his vision and trust. Let's keep building a biodiverse world." 

Forest of Thanks

“ Instead of fleeing from cities and looking far to find nature, why not reinvent the urban environment and grow more nature in the heart of the city.”

"Our resilient forest is thriving! Planted during a revolution and now going through a pandemic; bees, snails, ladybugs, amongst others, are having a wonderful time."

Beirut's Riverless Forest 

“We aim to create evergreen, sustainable forests to restore Karachi’s degraded environment.”


"After a heavy monsoon season, the second part is now planted and ready to thrive. Remarkable to see how the first part has grown."

“I have been teaching biology over the past 8 years at ‘Gilly School’. Our goal has been to reconnect the young generation with nature. I teach them about the environmental crisis but more so, about the solutions that give hope to this earth. A mini forest will be a unique opportunity for them to learn about species, biodiversity and regeneration.”


“Planting trees and watching them grow together to form a thriving ecosystem is an inspiring message for the future. Getting into action with kids is my message of hope.”

“This forest will grow in between 2 busy streets, next to a flyover, the chaotic highway, and with the ‘power plant of death’ as a backdrop!”

As we started the soil works, something rather unpleasant came to the light: a non-recorded high tension cable running through the site. We could hardly believe our eyes considering the many discussions with the municipality. The resilience of Adib & Dana (theOtherDada) knows no boundaries! We found a new site just a little higher up the road. As you can see, the Power Plant is still in sight. 


Power Plant Forest

“94% of Marathwada’s land area has no green cover. This poses a serious challenge to sustainable development.Our mission is to bring everybody in Marathwada together to plant neighborhood forests.in This effort can help the planet as a whole and prevent local natural disasters like drought, floods and landslides. We must remember that the little drops of water, the little grains of sand make a mighty ocean and the massive land.”


Green Schools

“By rewilding Bilyana we aim to improve the conservation status of the Mahogany Glider through habitat protection and recovery.” 


"Our pioneer species are coming in well! With a bit of rain recently, our trees are growing well, beginning to reshoot and flower. We are observing more life and biodiversity: insects are making their nests, there are lizards, and plenty of worms! The Southern Cassowary has been spotted in our forest!"

“By rewilding the five water catchments in town, we aim to address and solve a decades-old water crisis"

“This Miyawaki forest will complement the degraded ecosystem as well as the rainforest area and it will help pollinate fruit trees.”

"My favorite tree is the quandong tree, Elaeocarpus Grandis, which is a keystone species for this region that supports so many native animals, birds, and particularly the southern cassowary which is endangered."

Tully

“Times are changing. After years of heavy industry in the neighbourhood, we are working with a keen local community to bring back a thriving piece of ancestral forest. Nature is making a comeback in our lives. We are creating forest habitat for our birds, amazing bugs, mushrooms and butterflies. We are much better with it. ”

“The project in Pontisse, Belgium, aims to restore ‘King Charlemagne's Forest’. 
By doing so we hope to regenerate natural forests benefiting our communities, animals, climate and the planet.” 


"Our children started to plant trees, shrubs and flowers with their families, yet, they are eager to create their own forest!" 

King Charlemagne Forest

“The best thing to do for coral reefs is to stop killing them — we need our leaders to step up and mitigate climate change threats, pollution, and other destructive practices. But as we continue to wait for such action, rapidly scaling up adaptation solutions is essential to protect critically important ecosystems. By working to establish a global network of land-based coral farms, Coral Vita is fighting to sustain coral reefs and the roughly one billion they support around the world.”

"Growth rates are doing well! We are excited about what the forest will have to offer - water retention, soil productivity, carbon sequestration, and not to mention habitat for the endangered Southern Cassowary bird!"

Smith's Gap

The people of Aurangabad are getting more and more aware of the harsh realities of climate change and initiatives like these give us hope for the future of the city.

“MiniBigForest, teachers and families are partnering to create a natural dense forest: a “green lung” to address the negative impacts of the surrounding environment and bring back more nature within the school.”
