For us, planting is a collective act that forms part of a continuum. Continuity of practices, continuity in time, continuity in space, continuity of actors: citizen planting is part of a wider ecosystem, and our journey has brought us into contact with many other committed collectives with whom we have more or less close ties. Here are a few of them, with whom you may also have the opportunity to exchange views!

Participatory and citizen forests

We bet on the participative dynamic to efficiently create mini-forests all together using the Miyawaki method. The association itself was born following the 2016 edition of the City of Paris’ Participatory Budget, in which we, volunteers and sympathizers were preparing to create the first Miyawaki mini-forest in France.

In the course of the adventure, the network of participants in the design and deployment of these projects has grown in other towns in France and Europe too, and beautiful friendships and relationships have been born out of this process of exchanging experience and practices.

In some cases, citizen groups have also founded associations, in others they have organized themselves into collectives, and in others they have joined Boomforest and operate in a local group in their town. Here are just a few of the groups that make up the strong federation of planters that exists today.
