Stepping Stone Forests
Stepping Stone Forests, based in Ireland, transforms urban spaces by creating small, dense, and native forests based on the Miyawaki method. These forests grow rapidly, enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and sequester CO2, helping combat climate change. They also foster wildlife habitats and connect communities through hands-on planting events, encouraging environmental stewardship. By turning degraded urban areas into green sanctuaries, Stepping Stone Forests helps create a sustainable future while reconnecting people with nature.

Stepping Stone Forests participated in the first edition of the European Tree Planting Day, where they involved children from local schools to plant trees in their surroundings. For their work, the organisation won the European Tree Planting Day awards.
