The Miyawaki Method is a cutting edge approach to urban forestry and landscaping, developed by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. These all native micro forests boost biodiversity, improve air quality, and lower temperatures around school buildings - all while utilizing minimal water.

Native saplings are densely planted and grow exponentially faster than traditional methods, all while thriving with little to no maintenance. The Miyawaki Method has shown remarkable success in urban landscapes across California, featuring 90%+ survival rates. Miyawaki forests not only rewild underutilized and neglected urban lands, making a space for Mother Nature to co-exist with humans in cities, but they simultaneously create beautiful green spaces for communities to enjoy.

Miyawaki Forest Benefits:

• Present an immediate solution to urban heat islands and rising playground blacktop temperatures

• Reduce school district maintenance costs, leaf litter, and water bills

• Trees mature 10 times faster than conventional landscaping while using a fraction of the water

• Native plants create ecological habitat for butterflies, pollinators, and birds

• Inspire your school community to come together in environmental service

• Promote student wellness and fresh air

• Forests can fit into as little as 200 sq ft on a school playground or replace the front lawn!
