SUGi is partnering with the philanthropic arm of Rothschild & Co. to help deliver on their core mission to protect the planet and empower future generations. Together, we’re tackling the effects of social and economic inequalities exacerbated by climate change with the planting of SUGi Pocket Forests in Scotland and London’s Barking and Dagenham.
Each of these forests is located in urban areas where green space and access to Nature and its multiple health benefits is scarce. Stay tuned for updates on the growth of these much-needed pockets of urban greenery and their impact on the local communities.
Auchterarder Park Forest
This project in Auchterarder allows us to bring a different aspect of play and Nature into the local community.
The area was once a manicured hard expanse that was to a large extent ignored. Through design, soil preparation and planting we have been able to create an interactive forest area where open areas and paths mingle with the maturing new forest.
La Casa del Encuentro Forest
Located in La Pintana, Santiago de Chile, "La Casa del Encuentro" stands as a pivotal community hub with a primary focus on nurturing early childhood development and supporting parenthood. The center caters to children ranging from 0 to 6 years old, as well as expectant mothers and prospective parents.
Given La Pintana's designation as a zone of high social priority, the center's role assumes paramount significance.
Harmony Forest
An outdoor classroom of 674 Sq m has been created on the grounds of William Ford Church of England School in Dagenham.
The purpose of this project is to establish a vital ecological corridor that supports biodiversity and enhances the educational experience of pupils. By planting native trees and a fruit orchard, we can see the return of a thriving, sustainable ecosystem to this barren land.
The initiative promotes a healthier environment for the school community and a greener landscape, reverting to what existed before.
Alexandra Millenium Green
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.
