The ‘Miyawaki Forest’

The ‘Miyawaki’ method of forestation was pioneered by a Japanese botanist named ‘Akira Miyawaki’

​

This method can be used to grow an urban forest within a short span of 20-30 years, while natural forests grow in 200 to 300 years.

​

In this method various species of plants are planted close to each other so that the plants receive sunlight only from the top and grow upwards instead of sideways.

​

Hence the plantation becomes 30 times denser grows 10 times faster and becomes maintenance-free after a span of 3 years.
