Who we work with

What does a micro forest bring to your organisation?

​

A micro forest increases biodiversity on your land, helping to mitigate climate change and heat, and increasing the conservation of local indigenous plants and wildlife.


Micro forests create a positive workplace environment for staff; someplace they want to be, and supports a happy, resilient and productive workforce.


Key benefits of creating a micro forest with your staff/team:
 

• Team building through staff consultation in design, construction, planting and ongoing care. Knowing they are doing something good for the environment and climate change

• Increased connection and pride within the workplace, strengthening of work communities from different departments and teams across the organisation

• Enjoy the strong science-based links with health, well-being, productivity and connecting with nature

• Quiet place for staff to relax, contemplate and explore creative thinking during break periods

• Space for outdoor meetings in a natural setting

• Opportunity to be active and outdoors, for staff and families to help plant and maintain

• Demonstrate to staff and shareholders the organisation's commitment to environmental values 

What we can provide

​

• A micro forest design, tailored to your school grounds

​

Are you a business that values biodiversity and wants to get involved, but don't have the land to do so?

 

We can work with you to add value to the community and demonstrate your commitment to environmental values. Through our sponsor a school program your organisation can champion nature by sponsoring a micro forest at a school. 

​

Your staff can be involved in helping to plant the forest at the school and we'll update you with how it's going as it grows, and the contributions to local biodiversity, cooling and greening. Children will benefit from having direct access to nature on their grounds, through nature-based play, learning about healthy environments, and cooling and greening the grounds. It's a win, win, win!
