The science

What is Miyawaki Method?

A scientifically proven afforestation technique that creates dense, biodiverse native forests in a fraction of the time.

High-Density Native Plantation

3–5 native species per sq. meter for rapid canopy formation

3–5x Faster Growth

Achieves mature forest structure in just 20–30 years vs. 100+

Self-Sustaining Ecosystem

Requires zero maintenance after a 3-year care period

Layered Planting Model

Shrub, sub-tree, tree, and canopy layers replicate natural forests

Conventional Plantation

Parameter Conventional

Growth Rate Standard (100+ yrs to maturity)

Density 1 tree per 3-5 sq.m

Biodiversity Low (often monoculture)

Maintenance Ongoing indefinitely

Carbon Sequestration Low to moderate

Visual Transformation Slow, sparse

Miyawaki Micro-Forest

Parameter Miyawaki

Growth Rate 3-5x faster (20-30 yrs)

Density 3-5 trees per sq.m

Biodiversity High (30+ native species)

Maintenance Self-sustaining after 3 years

Carbon Sequestration Significantly higher

Visual Transformation Dense canopy within 3 years

Project Highlights

Barren land on Bakori Hills transformed into a thriving native forest in collaboration with Toshiba.
4,000 trees planted using the Miyawaki method with 45+ native species including Neem, Teak, and Java Plum.
50+ Toshiba volunteers participated in the large-scale plantation drive to support ecological restoration.
Continuous care and monitoring aim to achieve a projected tree survival rate of over 90%.
As the forest matures, it will absorb significant CO₂ annually and strengthen the local ecosystem.

Key Result

The plantation is expected to develop dense canopy cover within the next 18–24 months, growing significantly faster than conventional plantation methods.

ESG & SDG Contribution

This initiative contributes to YTDS’s broader commitment to sustainable and measurable impact.

Environmental Impact

Creates dense native forests using the Miyawaki method to improve biodiversity, air quality, and climate resilience.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend a minimum commitment of 700–1,000 trees per site. This ensures ecological viability, proper layered canopy structure, and measurable environmental impact suitable for CSR reporting.

A Miyawaki micro-forest can be established on as little as 1,000 sq. ft. For 1,000 trees at high density (3–5 trees per sq. meter), approximately 200–350 sq. meters is needed. We assess each site individually.

Miyawaki forests show visible dense green cover within 2–3 years. The forest becomes self-sustaining after the 3-year care period and reaches near-mature structure in 20–30 years — 10x faster than conventional plantations.

Yes. Every project includes a comprehensive 3-year care and monitoring plan covering watering, weeding, replacement planting, growth tracking, and quarterly impact reports.

Absolutely. Employee engagement is a core part of our model. We organize structured plantation drives that double as CSR engagement events, often involving 100–500+ employees per event.
