Bhopal: Forests will be developed in Bhopal using Miyawaki technology, with five locations identified, including the banks of Kaliasot and Kerwa Dam. Besides, over two lakh saplings will be planted at 121 sites. A meeting regarding this plantation initiative was held, attended by Collector Kaushlendra Vikram Singh.
With the support of social organizations, forests will be established in the district utilizing Miyawaki technology. The Ram Astha Mission Foundation has pinpointed several areas for development: Bhopal Airport, Kaliasot, Kerwa Dam, Gram Panchayat Barrikheda in Berasia, and the Gaushalas of Sukhi Sewania. The foundation discussed the use of wet waste, water hyacinth from ponds, and organic manure from cow shelters, as well as temple waste, to facilitate the Miyawaki method.
What is Miyawaki Method?
The Miyawaki Method is one of the most effective tree planting methods for creating forest cover quickly on degraded land that has been used for other purposes such as agriculture or construction. It is effective because it is based on natural reforestation principles, i.e. using trees native to the area and replicating natural forest regeneration processes.
This method has some significant benefits over more traditional forestry methods and is particularly effective in the urban environment. The trees planted by this method grow much faster. Higher biodiversity has been recorded in Miyawaki forests than in neighbouring woodland, so it’s an ideal method for creating diverse forest ecosystems quickly.
The essential principle of the Miyawaki method is using species of trees that would occur naturally in that area and that work together to create a diverse, multi-layered forest community. One of the most noticeable differences in a Miyawaki forest is that the seedlings are planted at very high densities.
