Pocket Forests was set up in Dublin in 2020 by Ashe Conrad-Jones and Catherine Cleary. Pocket Forests work with anyone with a small space that needs more nature: faith communities, schools, residents groups, sports clubs, universities, businesses, healthcare providers, housing bodies and private garden owners.

It is a social enterprise facilitating community wellbeing through the participation of people in positive action for the planet.

Communities are helped to ‘green’ urban spaces by growing pockets of native trees and shrubs. Spaces for nature and wildlife are created in towns and cities around Ireland. The projects encourage people to use nature-friendly methods in their own gardens and take on stewardship of shared public spaces. For more information, visit https://www.pocketforests.ie/
