London parks are typically grasslands lacking biodiversity and solutions to the growing environmental issues we all face. Alexandra Millenium Green is one such example - saved from industrial developments by a local community group who has been looking after the park since 1990. Three decades ago, the community wished for woodland to be restored on the park, but public funding constraints made it impossible.
The forest will not only add to the communal green space that is decades in the making, but also help Tolworth residents breathe cleaner air. The forest will grow not far from the major ring road running through the area that has resulted in dangerously high levels of toxic pollution that will be scrubbed from the air by the forest.

Forest Partner
"As trustees of our community led park, we're delighted that SUGi are bringing one of their Miyawaki pocket forests to our Millennium Green. Their vision of creating ecosystems for local communities aligns perfectly with our aim of providing natural spaces shaped and cared for by local residents. We're excited to see this new forest take root and become part of both our park, and SUGi's community of pocket forests."
