Self Sustaining

After approx. three years our SUGi Pocket Forests can be classed as self-sustaining, at which point they can be handed over to Nature and left alone for complexity to naturally develop.

Native Species

“Clearview” at Dingo Pocket Road is a sanctuary for many native species in tropical North Queensland, Australia.

Through the rehabilitation of this former cattle farm site, we have effectively established a wildlife corridor connecting our Miyawaki Forest with a native forest. This restoration of the natural habitat has provided benefits to all species dependent on this vital ecosystem, including humans.

We have helped Australian biodiversity to thrive!

“I’m excited for the Dingo Pocket Forest as it will be our largest Miyawaki forest to date, but more so as it will provide habitat for over 80 native species.”

Dingo Pocket continues to grow well, despite its challenges last year with cattle infiltration.

The success of Dingo Pocket is particularly noteworthy given that it's a standalone forest, not near to any remnant forest. Moreover, the presence of thick invasive Guinea Grass (Megathyrsus maximus) close by - which has the potential to impede biodiversity - does not seem to pose a threat to Dingo Pocket.

In terms of wildlife, the forest has become a thriving habitat, with various species of birds, insects and lizards observed within its boundaries.

Dingo Pocket’s height has increased 4x in 1 year. Once again, exceptional growth in a Queensland pocket forest. The canopy is developing well and the forest floor is in progress. Cattle did infiltrate the site and damage some trees but the forest has regrown well.

It is amazing to see the success at this site as it is a stand-alone forest - nowhere near remnant forest. Plus, next to the forest there is thick invasive Guinea Grass (Megathyrsus maximus) which can hamper biodiversity. Yet this seems to be no threat to Dingo Pocket.
