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.

Tiny forests: The overlooked benefits of these miniature urban woodlands Grown using the Miyawaki method, fast-growing miniature forests in the middle of cities can bring surprisingly big benefits for people and the environment.

"While smaller patches of forest have historically been somewhat dismissed as useful nature reserves, they do have benefits. One big plus is that they are easier to fit into an urban area – and thus be nearer to where most people live."

🌱 These stats show why Tiny Forests are so important

But numbers alone don’t tell the full story. The real impact lies with the people who are involved. 🌍💚

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.

A wide shot of the meadow above Mutton Brook, with loads of volunteers in the distance with shovels, a mobile cafe and generator, a film crew and a handful of red Goodgym t-shirts. Behind them is a thin line of trees, still bare of leaves from winter, and a row of traffic on the North Circular at Henley's Corner, then some blocks of flats.

Epic day yesterday with #Goodgym Barnet. We helped plant a whopping 3 new #tinyforests. All in, volunteers, school children and local residents plugged 1800 trees into the ground!

And we made the BBC!

"What's inspired me the most since I started volunteering with The Hub has been the response by the public in communities to the many forests that we're planting. When we plant one of these #TinyForests we have so many people signing up!" #Hope #Inspiration #yyc #Activism #Advocacy #Volunteering

Looking for another reason to donate to the Calgary Climate Hub for our fundraising drive? Who else do you know that got trees into the ground in Calgary during 2024 and is going to get more planted in 2025?

Japan-style ‘tiny forests’ are taking root in British cities Interviews with tree experts reveal that while half of them supported the Miyawake method, especially in specific urban areas, concerns remained about tree mortality and high costs.

Japan-style 'tiny forests' are sprouting up in British cities, but are they enough to counter urban biodiversity loss? We need systemic changes, not just small-scale green patches. #UrbanBiodiversity #TinyForests #ClimateAction theconversation.com/japan-style-...
