Miyawaki Forests Programme
The Say Trees Environmental Trust has implemented the Miyawaki Forest programme, utilizing the effective Miyawaki method for dense forest creation. With the alarming reduction of forest cover and the rapid destruction of century-old trees, this irreversible loss calls for urgent action. The Miyawaki method offers a solution by enabling the rapid restoration of green cover. Through this method, saplings grow ten times faster, resulting in forests that are thirty times denser. In just two years, the unimaginable growth of these forests becomes a reality. By establishing small patches of forests in various locations within cities, the Miyawaki forest programme serves as a vital carbon sink, countering the concrete jungles that urban areas are becoming.

Water Conservation Programme
SayTrees Environmental Trust is actively engaged in water conservation efforts, specifically focused on the rejuvenation of lakes and water bodies. Recognizing the crucial role lakes play in our ecosystem, the organisation emphasizes the environmental benefits they offer, as well as their impact on our overall well-being and economic prosperity. By functioning as natural reservoirs, lakes help mitigate the effects of floods and droughts by storing and releasing water as needed. Moreover, they contribute to the replenishment of groundwater, improve the water quality of downstream watercourses, and provide vital habitat for diverse forms of wildlife. Through its water conservation initiatives, Say Trees aims to safeguard and restore the health of lakes, benefiting both the environment and communities at large.
