We make micro forests for you

Cooling and greening our community in a changing climate

Australia is facing a hotter, drier climate and rapid biodiversity loss. It’s easy to feel powerless about what to do.

Step in micro forests. Micro forests are a fantastic local, nature-based solution which can help turn things around. They may only be the size of a tennis court but they are ace at combatting climate change and creating habitat for wildlife.

Whether you're a business, school, council, or community group, we’re here to help you grow something meaningful.

What is a micro forest?

From Bordeaux to Melbourne ✈️🌏

Micro forests are taking root as a global movement, inspired by Japan’s pioneering approach to restoring nature in our cities. These small but mighty ecosystems are proving that even the smallest urban spaces can become thriving pockets of biodiversity for communities to enjoy.

We’re excited to see more micro forests emerging across Europe, Asia and now back home in Australia. 🌿

What’s a micro forest? It’s a dense, fast-growing patch of native plants, about the size of a tennis court, that cools the air, boosts biodiversity, and brings nature back to our cities.

The concept was developed in Japan in the 1970s by Akira Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist and plant ecologist, concerned with biodiversity loss particularly in the urban environment.

For a small and adaptable space, it can have a big impact. Learn more on our website: www.naturemakers.com.au

Welcome to NatureMakers! We’re Anna and Daniel, and we’re thrilled to have you join us on a journey of restoration, regeneration, and reconnection with nature.

At NatureMakers, our mission is to rewild urban spaces through micro forests - compact yet powerful pockets of native vegetation that help cool our cities, boost biodiversity, and bring communities closer to nature.

Since launching in 2023, we’ve been working with communities, schools, and organisations to spark meaningful climate action and transform highly urbanised and biodiversity-lacking areas into thriving, green habitats for wildlife and people alike.

Come along for the journey and discover how you can help grow a forest. 🌱
