A Miyawaki forest is a dense, fast-growing forest method developed by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. Unlike traditional afforestation, which often involves planting a few species spaced apart, Miyawaki forests use a diverse mix of native species planted closely together to mimic natural forest ecosystems. This method results in a forest that grows 10 times faster, is 30 times denser, and is 100 times more biodiverse.
While traditional forests can take decades to establish, a Miyawaki forest can achieve significant growth and ecological benefits within just 2-3 years. Full maturity, depending on the species and climate, can be reached in about 20-30 years, providing long-lasting ecological impact.
Miyawaki forests help combat climate change by sequestering more carbon dioxide, restoring soil health, increasing groundwater levels, reducing air pollution, supporting biodiversity, and providing habitats for various species. These forests also create a cooling effect, reducing the urban heat island effect in cities.
Yes! One of the great advantages of the Miyawaki method is that it can be applied in small, urban spaces like residential communities, schools, corporate campuses, and public parks. The dense planting style allows for maximum impact in limited areas, making it suitable for urban rewilding.
Taashii conducts thorough research on native species suitable for each location, ensuring ecological compatibility and sustainability. Our team closely monitors and maintains the forests for the first 2-3 years, the most crucial period for growth. We also engage the local community through educational programs to cultivate a sense of ownership and stewardship over the forests.
