The First Akira Miyawaki Forest on the Cooley Peninsula has just been planted!!!
As part of the Omeath District Development Biodiversity Programme we have just planted an Akira Miyawaki Forest in our off site Biodiversity Allotment, and each plant is marked with its own unique red label.
We will share updates of the development of our Japanese inspired forest at regular intervals.
Akira Miyawaki was a Japanese botanist who developed the idea of planting trees and shrubs in tightly packed groups on small patches of land to promote rapid growth of the plants creating a bio diverse environment in a much faster time than usual.
