Their biodiversity can help improve immunity via pos microbial interactions.
They can filter airborne pollutants through their dense canopies.
They can improve the physical and mental wellbeing of communities.
They help cool city temperatures.
They can help mitigate flooding by absorbing stormwater.
They capture CO₂, and emit oxygen.
They create a haven for bees and pollinators.

Our Method

1

Soil Survey

Evaluating the planting site's soil to see what nutrients are missing and needing to be added / rectified.

2

Species Survey

Designing a species list of the most suitable, indigenous species for the future pocket forest. This survey is ideally carried out in a nearby ancient forest.

3

Soil Engineering

Preparing the soil for planting such as decompacting and adding suitable amendments to create the basis of a fluffy, fungal dominant soil.

4

Dense Plantation

Planting of young, cell grown, saplings at a density of 3 to 4 per Sq m. Addition of an inoculant or compost tea.

5

Mulch

Mulching to cover and protect the soil, helping reduce evaporation, suppress weeds, and build carbon stocks. Straw or wood chips are ideal.

6

Maintain

Weeding can be done at intervals of 6, 12 and 18 months until the soil is covered from the light. The pocket forest might need water during severe droughts.

7

Climax Forest Equivalent to a 100-year-old Forest

(After Twenty Years Plantation) At some point depending on local conditions the forest can be regarded as self-sustaining, This is the point at which no maintenance is required. In some cases, this can be as little as 12 months.
