OUR VISIONMiyawaki forests across Serbia

What is a pocket forest?

A small, densely planted forest of native species can bring shade, moisture and habitat for insects and birds back to the city.

Our first 250 m² showed us what can grow here. Now we are ready to take the idea further.

Why now?

Cities are warming faster than trees can grow. Every new forest begins when someone decides to give it a chance.

Together, a forest takes root

Join us as an individual or a company. Every contribution brings us closer to a network of Miyawaki forests across Vojvodina.

From your support to a living forest

  1. Make room to growWe prepare new sections on our land as the forest gradually grows towards one hectare.
  2. Native saplingsWe choose a diverse mix of native species suited to the local soil and climate.
  3. Miyawaki plantingWe plant a dense mix in layers, giving different species room to grow together.
  4. Care from day oneFor the first three to five years, watering, mulch and regular visits help the young plants grow stronger.
  5. Follow the storyField notes, photos and video let you see what is happening on the ground.
  6. Stronger with each seasonWe keep checking in as the plants establish and gradually become less dependent on our care.
