Flagship initiative
Miyawaki Urban Forest Creation.
The Miyawaki method creates dense, native forests in small urban spaces by planting 20 to 50 native species close together. These forests grow faster, become denser, and support richer biodiversity than conventional plantations.

Native species mix
Multiple local tree species create a multi-layered, self-sustaining forest structure.
Dense planting
Three to five saplings per square meter push natural competition and fast growth.
Urban air quality
Forests filter pollutants, reduce heat, restore soil, and create bird and insect habitat.
