Citizens Forests

Citizens Forests is a German non-profit organization that empowers individuals and communities to convert small, unused urban spaces into biodiverse “Tiny Forests.” Founded in 2019, the organization supports the creation of mini-forests using the Miyawaki method, which promotes dense planting of native species to create self-sustaining, diverse ecosystems. Citizens Forests assists communities in identifying suitable land, engaging with local authorities, and organizing planting events. The organization’s mission is to make reforestation a practical and communal response to climate change, aiming to create a network of local forests that enhance biodiversity and urban greening.
