Help Us Plant Community Forests
Are you a Community Group / Local Organisation? Do you have a site (publicly accessible) within a Nature deprived area? Would you like to plant a pocket forest with us and improve local levels of Nature connectedness?
@ReWildYourself is delighted to have support from the Eranda Rothschild Foundation to run a community initiative in partnership with urban rewilders, SUGi @sugiproject, experts in planting resilient Pocket Forests with the Miyawaki method.
We are looking to create three Community Forests in Nottingham, Glasgow, Plymouth, Cardiff or Liverpool.
Each site will include a 3 year RWY programme of Nature Connection workshops, supporting young people (10–14) and vulnerable adults. ReWild Yourself will be partnering with local facilitators, activity leaders and artists to run the programme.
When are we planting?
We are hoping to plant one Eranda Community Forest in Autumn 2025, one in Spring 2026 and one in Autumn 2026.

*For each site we are looking for community partners who either own the land or have use of the land, and can work with us to develop the sites and serve as custodians of the forest.

If you can support us in developing the project and programme of Nature Connection workshops, we are looking for the following partners per site:
- Community partners — to help develop, maintain and utilise the site for the community.
- Recruitment partners — for young people (10-14) and / or vulnerable adults (up to 300/400 participants per forest over 3 years).
