Course Includes

Crowd Foresting offers an exclusive online training programme, showcasing the Miyawaki Model of Afforestation to simulate natural forests in an urban setting. For more information regarding this programme please visit www.crowdforesting.org

These techniques draw inspiration from the model developed by Prof. (Dr.) Akira Miyawaki, internationally renowned botanist and former Professor Emeritus, Yokohama National University, Japan. The primary objective is the speedy restoration of forests. We currently have 30 modules that are readily available once your subscription is confirmed. Each video module is online and accessible for one year from the date of joining.

Miyawaki model

The Miyawaki model establishes a 30-year-old natural forest within 5-10 years and a 100-year-old natural forest in 15-30 years. This method repairss the damage caused due to reckless industrialization and urbanization. This rejuvenation includes an increase in soil water retention, preservation of water supply sources, purification of water, and groundwater recharging. These will increase the water content in soil and contribute to global cooling. Most importantly, they will reduce the harmful effects of rising temperatures, absorb dust, improve the inflow of oxygen, and reduce carbon footprint. Hence, Miyawaki afforestation is the planet's best gameplan to mitigate global warming and climate change. The most significant advantage of Prof. Miyawaki's revolutionary concept is that any individual can simulate a beautiful natural mini-forest, regardless of land availability. The method achieved an average growth of four meters per year when implemented across various terrains in Kerala, India.

About the Programme

Details of 30 videos in the class
1. The Earth
Initially, our planet was rich in vegetation. But, as time passed, many parts gradually became barren. How this came about is the story that we shall investigate.
2. Climate Change
Climate Change is a buzzword that's thrown around by many people. What exactly does it mean?
3. Trees
Plants are Nature's sole producers. Everyone else merely consumes. Without plants, life on earth is impossible.
4. When Clay is Baked
How does the simple act of burning dry leaves affect Nature and the environment negatively? We explain.
5. Agriculture and Nature
Any plan to guard Nature must involve long-term farming solutions. This section explains how agriculture and Nature are deeply inter-connected.
6. The Laboratory
Ground zero for us is a rocky hill, 12 km from the capital city of Thiruvananthapuram. It is here that our journey began.
7. In Search of Water
Wells are the traditional tanks that our ancestors used. We explore how to find the space for wells and replenish dwindling groundwater levels.
8. A Natural Forest in the Plot
Let's find out how any person can build a forest in their backyard.
9. Fertile Soil
Soil needs micro-organisms and decomposing organic material to become fertile. These are essential for it to avoid being barren.
10. Reclaiming the Organic Nature of Soil
Mother Earth never meant to have the earth's surface barren. This is observed in the immediate reappearance of plants upon removal.
11. To Reclaim the Fertility of the Soil
It is not impossible to rejuvenate soil quality cost-effectively. The techniques in this video are essential for the same.
12. The First Lesson Learnt
All lessons learned on any journey help in the final product. We began by planting trees in pits nearly one-and-a-half feet deep, improving the chances of collecting water, and allowing the plants to access it easily.
13. Nature's Clock
Nature's clock is eternal. Since the beginning of time, all natural processes have followed a regular pattern.
14. Prof. Akira Miyawaki
All of us have heard about the Miyawaki Model. But who is the iconic Miyawaki-san?
15. The Miyawaki Model
Let us now learn about the exact model developed by Prof. Akira Miyawaki to simulate natural forests.
16. Indigenous Plants
This segment explains how to identify indigenous plants of a region.
17. Polyculture instead of Monoculture
An essential feature of the Miyawaki Model is that it avoids the monoculture system, preferring an intermingling of different plants species.
18. Preparing the Seedbed
Here, we look at how a seedbed for the Miyawaki Forest is prepared, and related issues that require attention.
19. Selecting the Plants
Post the plot identification phase, the next step is to ascertain the number and varieties of plants required.
20. Growing Saplings in Grow Bags
The saplings selected for the Miyawaki forest are raised in grow bags and tended to for at least three months.
21. The Extent of a Miyawaki Forest
Queries about the Miyawaki forest revolve around issues like minimum and maximum space requirements. Find the answers here.
22. Method of Afforestation in the Selected Plot
Now once the seedbed is prepared in the chosen plot, we explain how individual saplings are planted in each square.
23. The Space between the Plants
This segment describes the importance of maintaining a particular space among the planted saplings.
24. Mulching
Mulching is a crucial element while building a Miyawaki Forest.
25. The Space Surrounding the Miyawaki Forest
After a Miyawaki forest is created, it is integral to keep its surroundings clean and beautiful.
26. Irrigation
This segment underscores the importance of irrigation in the initial stages of afforestation.
27. Maintenance of Miyawaki Forests
During the first three years of its life, a Miyawaki forest requires tending. This essential process is explored in this video.
28. Climbers, Creepers and Small Plants
People often wonder if climbers, creepers, and small plants feature in a Miyawaki forest. The video explores the issue.
29. The Miyawaki Model – Managing the Trees Already Growing in the Plot
What if a plot already has some form of green cover?. This segment explains the factors that we must consider in such a situation.
30. Setting up the Miyawaki Model – A Step-by-Step Summary
Let us summarize the entire journey of building a Miyawaki Forest from scratch.
