A Global Movement for Greener Cities

The UN Petite Forests Network is leading the charge in transforming urban landscapes. We're a global community dedicated to creating vibrant, resilient cities through the power of tiny forests.

Petite Forests may include dense clusters of native trees and shrubs in small spaces, such as those inspired by the Miyawaki method. They may also take different forms, based on the desired functions, benefits and available resources and space.

Petite forests help build healthier and more livable urban spaces, bringing plazas, streets and schoolyards to life. They help engage community and build support for urban greening efforts by creating a deeper connection nature and environmental stewardship.

The UN Petite Forest Network is hosted by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) in partnership with Earthwatch Europe. All are welcome to join us in creating a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.
