Urban environments like London, Cairo, Rio, and New York are often characterized by their hustle and bustle, yet they lack the calming and restorative benefits that nature provides. The SUGi Project seeks to change that by combining #IntergenerationalCollaboration with #Afforestation efforts to create #PocketForests in cities. These green spaces serve as essential retreats, allowing city dwellers to disconnect from the fast pace of urban life while promoting the restoration of biodiversity.

To date, the SUGi Project has successfully planted over 288,000 native trees across 160 projects, contributing significantly to urban rewilding initiatives. In this video, Founder and CEO Elise Van Middelem shares her insights on the importance of creating these Pocket Forests and the role they play in enhancing urban ecosystems.

Discover how urban rewilding can not only improve mental well-being but also provide habitats for wildlife and promote ecological resilience. Join us in exploring the transformative power of nature in our cities and learn how we can work together to foster greener, healthier urban environments.
