Programme
Turn a campus, factory or city plot into a dense, multi-layered native forest that looks after itself after the first few years.
400+ companies plant with us · 85% survival, program-wide · 14 states across India
Quick answer
A Miyawaki forest is a dense, multi-layered forest of native species planted close together on prepared soil, a method developed by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. It suits small urban plots, campuses and industrial sites. Grow Billion Trees prepares the site, plants and cares for the forest until it can sustain itself.

Miyawaki forests suit small plots; we size the forest to the space you have, from campus corners to larger sites.
Usually two to three years of watering and weeding, after which it largely sustains itself.
Only species native to the area, chosen for each canopy layer.
Yes, many companies plant their Miyawaki forest as an employee planting day.
