Goody Bag

BZS Micro Forest Project

This sustainable initiative has seen BZS plant 10 micro forests around Bermuda to date, with many more to come: ultimately, 1,500 trees and shrubs will be planted each year of the 3-year program. These dense plots are planted with native and endemic species, around three or four per square metre, and can be squeezed in anywhere there is space, from schoolyards to private gardens. The project was based on the Miyawaki Forest model which encourages the growth of trees and forests even in the smallest areas of land, acting as a carbon sink where these forests can remove carbon from the atmosphere continually as they grow. By focusing on endemic species, the BZS also hopes it can help fight against invasive species of plants.

RenaissanceRe is one of the founding partners of the project and a portion of all proceeds will go towards the charity.
