Miyawaki Forests Development to Fight Climate Change

Vasudha under its physical wellness mission is embarking on development of Miyawaki Urban Forests to fight the climate change. Miyawaki Urban Forest development is a proven concept that everyone of us can contribute to fight the climate change and create bio diversity that has been taken away from Mother Earth through urbanization. Compared to conventional landscapes and tree plantations, forests made using Miyawaki Method grow 10 times faster and they have 30 times more green surface area. They are full of biodiversity. The process of forest making is 100 percent natural and free of chemicals. These forests retain ground water, thus recharging the ground water table. They attract more birds, produce native fruits and improve air quality. They are relatively easy to implement as a small forest can be developed in as small as 10 X 10 sft backyard area.

Vasudha will be using the Miyawaki methods established by Shubhendu Sharma of Afforestt and local expertise of Ms Neelam Patil of International Association for Human Values to start with a small patch of land in San Martin, California and look to contribute more from that experience.
