The Miyawaki forest method involves planting a diverse mix of densely packed native woodland trees, creating 'tiny forests' that grow quickly in small urban areas.
Already, there are more than 280 Miyawaki-style forests nationwide, hidden within urban settings like housing estates and school grounds, growing faster than traditional trees.
The environmental charity Earthwatch Europe has successfully planted 285 tiny forests since 2022, thanks to collaboration with local communities.
Tiny forests offer self-sustaining habitats that require minimal maintenance after three to five years, fostering wildlife and increasing land's carbon storage capacity.
