Natural Urban Forests works to address the urgent need to restore thriving native forest ecosystems. Cities, suburban neighborhoods, and industrial agricultural operations can provide a unique role in stitching together fragmented native habitat. New forests can quickly replace sterile urban deserts or fallow farmland that are lacking native flora and fauna diversity. Industrial and vacant sites are being underutilized and have great potential to serve as corridors for wildlife. These spaces can also significantly contribute to improved mental and physical health for the people in the surrounding areas. These forests also improve soil health and increase moisture retention via balancing soil biology.
