Tres Cantos: Miyawaki Forest
About the project
This project will establish the first Miyawaki forest in Tres Cantos, in collaboration with the City Council, within the Central Park, near the Aula de Medio Ambiente “Las Vaquerizas”.
The initiative aims to restore biodiversity and raise environmental awareness by transforming a small urban area into a thriving native micro-forest.
The project will actively involve the local community, including schools and residents, through educational and volunteer planting events.
Objective
To create a 400 m² Miyawaki forest composed of approximately 2,000 native trees and shrubs, enhancing local biodiversity, improving soil health, and engaging the community in climate action.
Impact
