Very interesting and inspiring what a small group of people are doing for this small piece of land next to this school. I think it will be great for all the kids who will see and appreciate nature and the results. I too am curious to see what the results will look like in a few years. Had no idea trees compete for light to grow faster!
Yes, it’s a wonderful learning opportunity for years to come. School gardens mostly are growing annuals, so monitoring a young and fast growing forest is a unique and important experience!
Cheers for this attempt at afforestation! It will be so great to see in a few years all of the benefits that this act of giving back will bring to the land. Appreciative of the group of folks involved in this effort.
A wonderful post - utterly fascinating! I learned a new word (afforestation!). And the Japanese man who planted 40 million trees- WOW!! 🤯 How wonderful to see his legacy live on with these micro forests. The idea that these trees and shrubs will actually grow faster because of resource competition was also intriguing. I hope you’ll revisit the site in the future to update us? 🙏🏻

Thank you, Erin! I am appreciative too. :)

P.S. I’d love to share this post in my upcoming post just after the new year, if that’s good with you?
Yes, I’ll definitely visit and observe how it grows. I’m happy to share updates here! 🌳
I’d be thrilled to have the opportunity to share the story with your readers. Much appreciated, Amy!
