Miyawaki Forests to Replace Waste in Bhati Village

Delhi's forest department is set to rejuvenate two hectares of land in Bhati village previously marred by construction and demolition waste. The plan involves establishing dense Miyawaki mini-forests, utilizing 60,000 native saplings. This significant afforestation project is proceeding under the watchful eye of the National Green Tribunal, which has been hearing a plea regarding the misuse of this forest land.

The department has formally requested the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to clear the accumulated waste. The Miyawaki method, known for creating biodiverse, fast-growing forests in small urban spaces, will be employed. Plantation activities are scheduled to begin after the winter season concludes, as current conditions are unsuitable for sapling survival. The administrative approval for fencing and plantation is currently being processed.
