The principle is very simple: citizens look locally to see if there are any small, unused areas that could be reforested. The areas do not have to be large. A &#8220;Tiny Forest&#8221; can be created from as little as 60m2. The association accompanies the process, provides support with planning, talks with the authorities involved and shows everyone involved what is possible thanks to the initiative of individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The model is a sure-fire success. Because there are motivated people everywhere who want to get involved, there are plenty of unused areas and people or companies are often willing to donate to local projects. And the issue of more inner-city green space is on everyone&#8217;s agenda anyway. Around 30 projects have been implemented so far, with 500 planned over the next three years. To this end, processes are to be optimized and digitalized. The aim of Citizens Forests is to establish a Germany-wide network of local reforestation projects. At best, reforestation should become a normal part of social life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Forest by the citizens for the citizens<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tiny Forests are more than just woodlands or green refuges for nature and people, they are living testimony to the community&#8217;s commitment to preserving the environment. Using the Japanese Miyawaki method, citizens plant previously fallow areas of 60 m2 or more densely with native tree species, creating natural biotopes with a variety of plant and animal species. The idea is to plant very densely, combining many native tree and shrub species to create a high density in a minimum of space. Saplings from regional tree nurseries such as beech, oak and rowan, field maple, wild roses, apple trees and rock pears are used. This is not only efficient, quick and cost-effective, but the natural forests also bind carbon dioxide very efficiently. However, the CO2 effect is only one aspect, as biodiversity or, for example, the cooling effect in urban areas outweighs this. The new forests created through targeted planting campaigns and protective measures must be preserved for 15 years. In addition to protecting biodiversity, Citizens Forests attaches great importance to environmental education and aims to raise awareness of environmental issues at events, for example, and establish a meeting place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Transparent and digital<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The mini forests, however small they may be, are all recorded on a <a href=\"https:\/\/restor.eco\/de\/organizations\/42214214-c85f-4b55-9391-c4d31968a883\/?lat=51.53997770116161&amp;lng=11.522016400123762&amp;zoom=6.092107627366796\">digital map<\/a> using GPS data and can be viewed by everyone.
