For restoration of ecological balance, we need to grow back the green cover that we have depleted from Earth so rapidly. This video shows how to create urban forests in the form of dense plantations. They can be created in any setting, but are especially useful for urban settings where the depletion of green cover has been exceptionally severe.

The method used here to grow back the green cover uses the same the principles as the Miyawaki method - named after the famous Japanese botanist who encouraged recreating forests using native species of trees.

This video captures the 2 year progress of the Urban Forest from planting the saplings onward. It is important to point out that since this project was done at an existing park site where non-native trees already existed, the method is not a pure Miyawaki method, however similar techniques are applied. Given an empty patch of land, one can choose a mix of only native trees and create a dense forest using purely the Miyawaki technique.

An important step as part of this method is to mulch (cover the soil with fallen leaves/tree debris) to help the soil retain moisture and to let the nutrients fall back into the soil. While this step was carried out, since the park is in the public space, with external factors beyond direct control, at times the mulching got removed by over-zealous gardeners and community members.

We are an environmental NGO that does tree plantation work and all other things sustainability related across India, including Delhi, Gurugram (Gurgaon), and Noida.
