Schild vor Hecke 'Citizens Forest - Wir machen Wälder Bürger:innen engagieren sich für Klimaschutz Dieses Waldstück wurde am 18.03.2023 von Mitbürger:innen in Zusammenarbeit mit der Stadt Hamburg und Citizens Forests e. V. gepflanzt, um der globalen Erwärmung entgegenzuwirken. Durch einen Mix aus diversen heimischen Baumarten und eine erhöhte Pflanzdichte entsteht ein artenreicher Klimawald, der die städtische Umgebung kühlt, der Staub filtert, CO2 speichert und vielen Tieren ein neues Zuhause bietet. Alle Setzlinge und die Bodenvorbereitung wurden vom Bezirksamt Altona gespendet. Weitere Waldflächen und die Möglichkeit, selbst anzupacken oder auf andere Weise zu unterstützen, findet ihr auf: www.citizens-forests.org Citizens Forests Bezirksamt Hamburg Altona'

Größerer Bildausschnitt, man erkennt hinter dem Schild ein niedriges 'Wäldchen' auf kleiner Grundfläche.

Sehr cool. Wir haben hier um die Ecke auch einen Miniwald nach #miyawaki prinzip. Toll zu sehen, wie schnell die Sträucher und Bäume innerhalb kurzer Zeit wachsen.

Into The Woods, From Chestnut Genetics To Tiny Forests Genetic research could speed the restoration of the American chestnut tree. Plus, "rewilding" small spaces with fast-growing miniforests.

Cool episode of @scifri.bsky.social about rewilding urban areas by planting native mini-forests. I love the idea of a 4m x 4m pocket of forest generating its own microclimate.

Small forest measuring 2x3 metres with birch and lime tree. Miyawaki method called "pocket forest".
#Miyawaki

Our #Miyawaki #pocketforest, of approx. 600 sq ft, has grown like “magic”, since it was planted on March 29, in urban Gresham, Oregon. All our #neighborhood and many #friends helped so much!

A couple of weeks ago I too visited three Wee Forests in Glasgow. All were planted during the 2021-2022 planting season following the #Miyawaki method of afforestation. I was wowed by how different each were, despite similar tree species and climates.

How Japanese 'tiny forests' are sweeping Scotland Grown using the Miyawaki method, fast-growing miniature forests in the middle of cities can bring surprisingly big benefits for people and the environment.

#UrbanReforestation no patch is too small and the #Miyawaki method seems to work

the big story of tiny forests I used to get quite a few stories from Earthwatch Europe back in the noughties, when they sent expeditions to lots of places around the world. Nowadays they focus on issues closer to home such as butterfly counts and water quality, so there aren't so many different ecosystems involved, hence fewer features to write (although I did one on citizen science in 2021). Recently I heard a talk from Claire Narraway at the Oxford Cafe Scientifique about their tiny forests programme, and was intrigued by the way the idea has travelled around the world, pioneered in Japan by Akira Miyawaki, and being scaled up in India, to arrive on some 300 tennis-court-sized plots in the UK. So I wrote a feature about it and also went to the local tiny forest in Meadow Lane to take a few photos. My feature is out now: **How tiny forests became a big thing** Current Biology Volume 35, Issue 12, 23 June 2025, Pages R587-R589 Restricted access to full text and PDF download (will become open access one year after publication) Magic link for free access (first seven weeks only) See also my new Mastodon thread where I will highlight all this year's CB features. My mastodon posts are also mirrored on Bluesky (starting 22.2.2025), but for this purpose I have to post them again, outside of the thread. (I think threads only transfer if the first post was transferred, so once I start a new thread it should work.) Last year's thread is here . Oxford's very own tiny forest in Meadow Lane. Own photo.

Exciting news for #Allington! 🌳 We're creating a pioneering food forest at Midley Close, using the Japanese #Miyawaki method!

Certainly, let’s plant trees.
But far more important to stop degrading ecosystems and clearing old growth forests.
Restoration and regeneration as well: far more impactful than simply planting trees.
Plant forests. #Miyawaki

And with that understanding does it green light us planting diverse native mixes… Rewilding plus strategic native planting. Curious to hear your thoughts.

#GenerationRestoration needs to be involve as many people as possible, and restore native habitat wherever possible

#University campuses are ideal locations, with plenty of #volunteers to help!

Interesting plans to create a #Miyawaki forest of 4,000 native tree species on University of Iowa campus

I just thought you might like having it brought to your attention.

One more thing I'd like to add about biochar in terms of sequestration is that even lower temperature formed biochar should be quite stable if used for the deep layers in things like #Miyawaki mini-forests and such.

Ich habe meine Frau endlich zu einem kleinen #Miyawaki Wald im #Garten überzeugen können. Die 36qm, die wir jetzt mal abgesteckt haben, wird keiner von uns vermissen, aber es passen immerhin 108 neue Bäume auf diese Fläche. Jeder kleine Schritt zählt - besonders wenn es viele machen.

Should every European capital have an urban 'pocket forest'? Our cities are polluted and overcrowded - but planting trees in urban spaces create future wildlife habitats.
