RFQ Code: WFL-RFQ-006
THEME: Urban Biodiversity & Dense Forest Creation
SDG GOAL: SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities & SDG 15 – Life on Land
ABOUT THE PROJECT: The Miyawaki Plantation Project focuses on building miniature native forests in small urban spaces, degraded lands, or institutional campuses using the Miyawaki method, a proven Japanese technique for rapid forest growth. By planting multiple native species at high density and recreating natural layering, this method enables robust green zones that grow 10 times faster and are 30 times denser than conventional plantations. These forests support biodiversity, improve air quality, reduce noise, and serve as green lungs in congested environments.
SCOPE OF PROJECT:
1. Site assessment and soil testing to ensure proper preparation
2. Selection of 20–40 native species, including canopy, sub-canopy, shrub, and ground cover layers
3. Digging and mixing topsoil with compost, manure, and cocopeat
4. Plantation of 3–5 saplings per square meter in natural forest-like clusters
5. Installation of mulching, drip irrigation, and fencing where required
6. Maintenance and monitoring for up to 2 years to ensure forest establishment
IMPACT:
Planted over 50,000+ saplings through various afforestation and CSR initiatives across India.
