Miyawaki Urban Dense Forestation in Navade, Taloja.

Miyawaki Urban Dense Forestation for Navade: read against this area's own ground, not the city's average.

Why Navade

The ground this work sits on here.

Area: Navade, Taloja
Practice: Urban Ecology and Green Infrastructure Services
Typically for: Municipal corporations, developers, industry, CER/CSR programmes

The line between Navade's housing and the industrial estate is often just a road and a wall. A dense native planting along that line (on a school boundary, a road median or the edge of a society) gives residents shade and a visual screen, and catches some dust. The hard, compacted ground is loosened and enriched, the species are broad-leaved natives that put up with dust, and the plot is watered until it can manage alone.

Navade lies on the western side of the Taloja estate, between Kalamboli and Kharghar, around the village of the same name and the Navade Road station on the rail line from Panvel towards Diva. CIDCO developed a small node here of plots and residential buildings, and the estate's industrial plots meet it along its eastern edge. Warehouses, small workshops and service units fill the ground in between. It is a place where families live, and where the estate's trucks and smells are close by. Many of its residents work in the estate, in Kalamboli's yards or further along the rail line.

How it works

Miyawaki Urban Dense Forestation, from survey to survival.

The full service →

01/05
Native species selection
A multi-layer palette of native species chosen to the soil, climate and the forest's intended structure.
02/05
Soil analysis & enhancement
Soil tested and amended with the biomass and nutrients dense planting needs to establish fast.
03/05
Dense plantation
Close, multi-layer planting on a marked grid, the density that makes a Miyawaki forest grow upward.
04/05
Maintenance & survival monitoring
Two to three years of watering, weeding and, crucially, measured survival, the number the whole method is judged on.
05/05
Carbon estimation
Where required, an estimate of the carbon sequestered, so the outcome is a figure, not a claim.

Straight answers

Miyawaki Urban Dense Forestation in Navade: common questions.

01Can a planted strip protect our building from the industrial estate's air?

It helps a little, mainly with dust and as a screen. It will not remove gases or odour, which have to be controlled at their source. A thick, layered strip of native trees is still worth planting for shade and green. We are straightforward about what a planted strip achieves.

02How long does miyawaki urban dense forestation take in Navade?

On timing: plantation seasonal; monitoring 2–3 years. A realistic Navade schedule is set once the site and the scope have been read, and the work is carried through to the outcome by the same named people.
