A Mini Forest- Miyawaki
At Yash Pakka, Darshan Nagar, Ayodhya have created a Mini Forest of more than 5000 saplings in an area of around 2600 sqm through Miyawaki methodology very close to our Pragati Colony & Yash ITI. The method takes its inspiration directly from processes and diversity in nature: 15 to 30 different species of trees and shrubs are planted together. Forest developed under Miyawaki grows 10 times faster, 20 times more diversity, 30 times more density.
Akira Miyawaki (Jan 1928 to July 2021) was a Japanese botanist and an expert in plant ecology who specialized in seeds and natural forests. He was active worldwide as a specialist in natural vegetation restoration of degraded land. He was professor emeritus at Yokohama National University and director of the Japanese Centre for International Studies in Ecology since 1993. He received the Blue Planet Prize in 2006.
