Following the horrific blast on August 4, 2020, the city of Beirut was left devastated. These micro Miyawaki forests have been planted as part of the rehabilitation of school playgrounds through depaving and reintroduction of green spaces.
We hope that these beautiful forests will help to heal the community through the physical act of planting, educating the students on the different native species, and exposing them to forest ecosystems in the context of highly urbanized Beirut. These forests are not only contributing to the restoration of the schools, but also to a great city still in dire need of regeneration.
The project is helping three schools that have been heavily impacted by the blast, in collaboration with the “Let’s Play” initiative.

Ecosystem Restored
After approximately three years our SUGi Pocket Forests become self-sustaining. They no longer require human maintenance or watering, and can be handed over to Nature for biodiversity and complexity to naturally develop.

Biodiversity
Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life you'll find in one area—the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms like bacteria that make up our natural world. Each of these species and organisms work together in ecosystems, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life.
