Sohna Gears Up for Dense Urban Forests
7 May
Summary
- Two Miyawaki parks are being developed to combat pollution.
- One park will serve as a training center for forest personnel.
- The initiative aims to increase green cover in urbanizing regions.
Sohna is initiating the development of two Miyawaki parks, employing a method known for creating dense native forests rapidly in confined urban areas. These new green spaces are designed to combat pollution, improve biodiversity, and regulate the local climate. Preparatory work has commenced at both sites, with construction anticipated to begin soon.
The park at the reserve office premises will not only serve as a green space but also as a crucial training and demonstration center. Forest personnel from various districts will be trained here in the Miyawaki technique, enabling wider replication across Haryana.
The second Miyawaki park will be established on approximately seven acres in Ward 12, near residential zones. This location is strategically chosen to mitigate dust pollution and improve air quality for local residents, while also providing a much-needed recreational green area. This initiative is a key component of Haryana's strategy to bolster ecological infrastructure in its expanding urban regions and transform underutilized land into thriving green ecosystems.
