POCKET FORESTS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Pocket Forests Company Limited By Guarantee is a community-focused environmental organisation that transforms urban spaces across Ireland into thriving pockets of native woodland. By planting Irish-grown native saplings and enriching the soil with repurposed waste such as cardboard, composted food scraps and coffee grounds, they create small, self-sustaining ecosystems that support birds, insects and mammals while bolstering climate resilience.

The company's work rests on four pillars: Community Growing, which re-enchants neighbourhoods and brings people together; Environmental Integrity, achieved through the use of organic nurseries, electric transport and minimal single-use plastic; the planting of native saplings to avoid disease risks associated with imports; and soil regeneration through waste-upcycling. These pocket forests not only improve biodiversity but also deliver proven health benefits, reconnecting residents with nature and fostering stewardship of shared public spaces.

Through workshops, hands-on planting events and ongoing care programmes, Pocket Forests empowers locals to become "Pocket Foresters", encouraging a ripple effect of nature-friendly practices in gardens and public areas throughout the country.
