Indore forest department is planning to expand forest areas in urban city areas and create a wall of oxygen based on Miyawaki method
Indore forest department is planning to expand forest areas in urban city areas and create a wall of oxygen based on Miyawaki method. The methodology was adopted and came to be a part of forest and district administration initiative with the concept of intensive forest plans on the banks of Kahn River in July 2021.
It was announced by MP Shankar Lalwani and started with a campaign by planting saplings near Lalbagh. The campaign has been running slow and most of the work for Miyawaki forest methodology is still in progress in the city.
The reason explained for the same is the increasing spread of coronavirus and lack of staff.
The plantation drives are to be undertaken following Japan’s popular Miyawaki method of reconstitution of indigenous forests by indigenous trees.
The method produces a rich, dense and efficient protective pioneer forest in 20 to 30 years, where natural succession would need 200 years in temperate temperatures and 300 to 500 years in the tropics.
“The method involves planting two to four trees per square metre. Miyawaki forests grow in two to three years and are self-sustaining,” a forest official said.
Forest department with Indore municipal corporation will be undertaking the task of building the forest.
