Lead a Microforest
Become a microforest leader in your community
Bring the people and the place. We give you the platform, the funding tools and the backing to get it approved, funded and in the ground.
What we provide
Everything you need to get your microforest approved, funded and in the ground, without building it from scratch.
A clear path to funded. Your project gets its own page on our platform with secure payments and receipting, our grants directory to find the funding you're eligible for, and the campaign templates to run it. The fastest route from idea to fully funded.
Wayfinder, your project toolkit. One hub with everything for each stage: reference designs, species lists, budgets, approvals guides, planting-day and maintenance materials. Build once by us, ready for you to use. Signature projects step up to a full co-design process.
The money handled. Donations and grants flow through our not-for-profit, invoices paid, receipts issued, fully auditable. You never touch public funds. Insurance is covered too, with project cover extended through our policy and paid from what you raise.
Expertise behind you. Guidance on design, approvals and ecology when you need it, plus introductions to nurseries, suppliers and other leaders.
We exist to get your project funded and planted. Some of it we do for you, some of it we set you up to do yourself.
What you lead
Getting to funded takes someone on the ground who can carry the community. That's you.
Rally your community to fund it. Tell the story and run the campaign that gets your microforest across the line. Wayfinder and the grants directory do the heavy lifting; you bring the people. A Foundation project needs a straightforward push; a Signature one asks more, so it suits a leader with a team.
Champion the site. Build the relationship with the council, school or landowner, secure approval, and hold the project through to planting day.
Make it real on the ground. Run planting day, coordinate volunteers, and care for the forest as it establishes.
You bring the people, the place and the momentum. We give you everything needed to get funded and planted.
What leaders are like
People who lead microforests usually:
- Want to turn a piece of land into something useful and visible in their community.
- Can stay with a staged process from start to finish - anywhere from a few months to well over a year, depending on the scale - even when it feels unfamiliar.
- Are comfortable dealing with people from most walks of life.
- Can keep things moving when momentum dips, using our templates and approvals pathway.
- Want a defined challenge that fits around a busy life while sharpening their leadership skills.
