Find out how micro forests can work for you

Since Biodiversity Net Gain became mandatory in England on 12th February, building developers are required to ensure that habitat for wildlife is in a better state than prior to the start of the building project. Micro forests are an attractive potential solution for improving biodiversity on-site and under the Statutory Biodiversity Metric, micro forests can be classified as mixed scrub and can deliver between 6.69 and 7.70 units per hectare at a Moderate condition.  Email tim@microforests.co.uk for more information. 

A micro forest can be a great educational asset for your school and students can be involved in every step of the journey, from planting to care for the trees. The micro forest can form a permanent on-site learning asset for every stage of education and provide a range of activities from leaf collection and identification to bug hunts, species identification and basic ecological surveys.

As a land owner you have a fantastic opportunity to help fight back for nature whether you are a business park or factory owner or part of the the UK transport network. If you have an area of land that is currently unused then turning this into a micro forest will increase species diversity in your area, enable you to make a positive contribution to nature and contribute to your company's ESG commitments.

Access to and the opportunity to engage with nature is vital for mental and physical health and this isn't always easy, particularly in urban environments. If you have a disused area of land, even as small as 10 metres x 10 metres then you can add a micro forest to your community and create a nature hub in your area that's accessible to all. Accessibility can be increased by adding seating areas and pathways around or through the micro forest. Email tim@microforests.co.uk for more information. 

Are you dismayed by the state of nature in the UK (the bottom 10% of all nations globally) and want to do your bit to fight back for nature and increase species diversity? If you have even a relatively small area in your garden then you can plant a micro forest and do your bit. Planting a micro forest in your garden will provide valuable food and shelter for insects, birds and small mammals and increase the amount of wildlife that visits your garden.
