A pocket forest is created by planting various native trees and shrubs in close proximity, generally as a means of rapidly restoring native plant species in damaged ecosystems. While forests naturally grow through a primary stage and then a secondary stage before reaching their climax stage, pocket forests are created by a dense planting of climax stage species which grow rapidly in competition for sunlight.
pocket forests have been embraced by environmentalists as a means of reforesting urban spaces and teaching urban residents about native forest environments.
