What is a Tiny Forest?

• A Tiny Forest is a dense fast-growing native woodlands, typically made up of 600 trees planted in a tennis-court sized plot of 200m2. • Earthwatch has adapted a method of forest management developed in the 1970s by Dr Akira Miyawaki to encourage accelerated forest development. • The forests use no chemicals or fertilisers, have low management and maintenance requirements after two years and provide wide-ranging benefits to people and planet.
