Summary

The project aims to create small but dense micro forests of Bermuda native-compatible and endemic trees. These micro forests grow in two to three years and are self-sustaining. This method of afforestation allows trees, shrubs and understory plants to be densely planted at between 5-8 per m2 and grow up to 10 times faster per annum. These micro forests help lower temperatures, increase biodiversity, reduce air and noise pollution, attract local birds, pollinators and insects, and sequester carbon.
