How long does it take to build a forest? Working with Brettacorp Inc., a unique Miyawaki method, and a Cat Rental 30 ton Cat Excavator, a forest can be built in under 4 days!
What started with a pet chicken, a shovel, and a goal to rehabilitate local habitat, has grown into the development of 9 Miyawaki forests around the Tully region in North Queensland.
Brett Krause, President of Brettacorp Inc. says that the Miyawaki forestation technique is an approach that builds dense, native forests that ensures faster plant growth than using traditional reforestation techniques.
“You’re able to produce a self-sustaining ecosystem within one year, compared to conventional reforestation methods which can take several years before they start to self-sustain.”
