A forest is civic infrastructure.

Each plot moves through three public stages.

Claim

Find the forgotten 400 square metres.

Residents nominate heat-trapped yards, verges, and paved leftovers.

Plant

Build density from the soil upward.

Local ecologists select a layered mix of native canopy and understory species.

Keep

Fund care for the years that matter.

Membership pays nearby stewards through establishment and drought seasons.

Small enough to belong.
Dense enough to cool.

A Canopy plot can fit behind a library, beside a school, or inside a housing courtyard.
