Climate Leadership Program
Climate Ambassador
Understanding carbon measurement in a forest, voluntary and regulated carbon markets, and how nature-based carbon offsets are developed is integral to supporting a net-zero strategy for any organization. You will plant a section of the Long Point Eco-Adventures forest based on a sustainable forestry plan with features that add to the carbon uptake at the site.
Climate Ambassador
Learn. Engage. Act.
Begin your regenerative journey with our asynchronous online course to build foundational knowledge in nature-based climate action and regenerative urban systems. Graduates who choose to move from learning to action by directly supporting the installation of a local Pocket Forest will earn their official Climate Ambassador badge.
Climate Leader
Catalyze. Activate. Amplify.
Extend impact through institutions and networks by embedding nature-based solutions into broader climate strategies. Participate in multi-day immersive retreat with workshops and collaborative sessions to build a practical action plan for mobilizing broader climate initiatives.
Climate Champion
Build. Measure. Lead.
Go beyond installation to actively create new ecological assets within your communities. Contribute measurement data that strengthens quality, improves outcomes, and advances credible, evidence-based nature-driven climate action.
Climate Mentor
Educate. Empower. Regenerate.
Multiply impact by expanding regional implementation capacity, strengthening biodiversity corridors, growing local climate literacy, and enabling others to deliver nature-based solutions responsibly and effectively.
Pocket Forest Hub
This centralized platform connects education, implementation, and applied research to accelerate credible nature-based climate action. This is where can find tools and resources you need to design, install, monitor, and continuously improve your Pocket Forest projects.
Forest in a Box
The Forest in a Box Initiative provides a practical, scalable pathway for communities to support distributed nature-based climate action. Designed to reduce financial and technical barriers, a Forest-in-a-Box is a ready-to-plant Pocket Forest starter kit available for individuals, schools, and organizations. Each kit includes intentionally selected seedlings, species selection guide, planting layout guides, soil treatment guides, and clear step-by-step instructions.
Carbon Optimization Research
We monitor and continuously adjust and improve our approach in creating pocket forests that function as an effective, efficient, and accessible climate action tool for individual, organizations and public spaces.
Our data collection efforts enable us to compare the carbon trajectory of pocket forests in various regions and contexts.
Low-Impact Development
& Climate Resilience
The program educates professionals on designing, constructing, and maintaining resilient green infrastructure to manage stormwater effectively in the face of climate change, emphasizing design assessment, lifecycle costing, and performance verification.
Envision Sustainability
Professional (ENV SP)
Our courses are approved by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) as a credential maintenance option for existing ENV SP members.
Practical Application of the PPPs and Infrastructure Evaluation and Rating System (PIERS)
This comprehensive training program is designed to enhance understanding and application of sustainable infrastructure and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) within the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The course is developed and delivered in collaboration with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
