“Tiny forests” being created in Scotland

“Tiny forests” being created in Scotland
Small forests are being created inside cities in Scotland. This method, developed by Japanese scientist Akira Miyawaki, involves planting hundreds of local tree saplings densely in a small area.

According to experts, such forests help clean the air, absorb water, and soften the city’s climate. Their placement close to people connects residents with nature.

In recent years, hundreds of such forests have appeared in the UK. In Scotland, they are being planted near schools and hospitals, with children and patients taking part in the planting process.

According to the UN, tiny forests increase biodiversity and are considered beneficial for the environment. Experts see this initiative as an important step in enriching cities with green areas and combating climate change.
