Rapid Growth Urban Forest Creation... to me it seems like a dream concept, being able to rewild urban environments quickly to help the environment, bring biodiversity, create wildlife corridors, rooftop forests, school bee forests, support community and individual health and wellbeing and more... The Miyawaki Method of rapid forestation is based on observing and mimicking nature.
These forests are maintenance free in 3 years. This is a fascinating conversation with James Godfrey-Faussett, founder of Wild Urban Spaces, practitioner and advocate of the Miyawaki Method, where you will learn how James and his team densely plant indigenous trees at a mix of canopy heights, which kinds of trees, where you can go an see and experience one.
And they don't have to be huge. They are also creating micro forests in schools, cities, you can even plant them on rooftops. Can you imagine what a future city could look like? Creating roof corridors. Learn how much rootspace you need (it's surprising short!), why they need less water, Where other projects are being undertaken and how you can get involved by volunteering, donating, commissioning one.
Form James: "Dense healthy forest will heal our environment, create biodiversity and reconnect communities with nature.Areas of forest will also sequester huge amounts of Co2, clean the atmosphere, remove dangerous particle matter and heavy metals, while emitting bountiful oxygen.Micro forests have all the benefits of primal forests but on a local impactful level. Typically the size of a tennis court and planted with 600 native trees, we can achieve ultra rapid vibrant growth in all environments using the Miyawaki method of afforestation. The process allows for virtually no upkeep and the forests are maintenance free in as little as 3 years.Biodiversity is rapidly established and allowed to flourish. Even in busy urban areas biodiversity oases will form and prosper. Our micro forests grow quickly and vibrantly so the environment and community can benefit from the word go."
