Miyawaki Forests

Miyawaki Forests are small, densely planted natural ecosystems developed to restore local biodiversity and improve environmental health. Using indigenous tree and plant species, these forests are created through a method that involves planting multiple layers of vegetation closely together, which accelerates growth and creates a self-sustaining habitat. This technique, pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, promotes rapid soil regeneration, increases carbon sequestration, and supports wildlife. Miyawaki Forests are suitable for urban or limited spaces, offering ecological, social, and climate benefits by revitalizing degraded land into vibrant, green ecosystems.
