A mini forest can be created anywhere. It can be by the side of a main road, as in Witney*; it can be in your own garden; or it can occupy a neglected area in your locality. It has the potential to grow ONE METRE in ONE YEAR, providing a habitat for wildlife, acting as a sound barrier and lowering the temperature in its surroundings.

This is the message of Professor Akira Miyawaki.
