Explanation: Miyawaki Plantation Method is an initiative of creating mini forests in urban areas for the afforestation programme.

· Named after Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, this method involves planting 2 to 4 different types of indigenous trees within every square metre.

· In this method, the trees become self-sustaining, don’t require regular manuring and watering and they grow to their full length within 3 years.
