Adopted in numerous cities around the world, this method is designed to replicate the characteristics of primary forests by planting a wide variety of indigenous species in a dense formation. Planted by means of a participatory approach, these urban micro-forests grow quickly and are home to 20 times more biodiversity, while also helping combat heat islands and cleaning both the air and rainwater.
