    We are a company that uses the Miyawaki Method to create dense, native forests that grow 10 times faster than conventional plantations. This method involves surveying native tree species, preparing soil with biomass, and densely planting 50-100 native saplings per square meter. The forests become self-sustaining within 2 years and resemble 100-year-old forests.

    We are a company on a mission to bring back our native forests, by creating them.

    We use a methodology
    called the Miyawaki Method, invented by Dr. Akira Miyawaki in Yokohama, Japan in the 1970s.

    Here is a 300 tree 1,000 Sq. Ft. forest in Whitefield, Bangalore.


    3 years

    We can make a forest of 300 trees in a space as small as 100 Sq Mtrs (1,000 Sq ft). This is Dr. Miywaki s first
    project in India. Started in June, 2009 with 30,000 trees.

    5 month old Afforestt project in Umbergaon, Gujarat.
    Dr. Akira Miyawaki has planted more than 40,000,000. trees worldwide at 1700 locations. He brought this
    methodology to India in 2009

    China Japan

    Compared to a conventional plantation, these forests grow 10 times faster, they are 100 times more
    bio-diverse and have 30 times more green surface area. Our entire process is 100% organic\

    8
    These forests retain ground water, thus recharging the ground water table. They attract more birds and
    insects, produce native fruits and improve air quality

    How we do it!
    saplings of 50 to 100 native species
    planted at a density of 3~5/Sq. Mtr

    the forest becomes self-sustaining after


    2 years of watering and de-weeding.

    growing undisturbed, it becomes


    equivalent of a 100 year old natural
    forest.
