Native forest planning
Plan a Miyawaki forest without the noise.
Estimate planting counts, shortlist native species, and export a simple field-ready plan.
Start with the planner. Move to species once the site math looks right.
1. Size the site
Turn area into planting counts and input estimates.
2. Build a shortlist
Filter species by region, growth rate, and layer.
3. Repeat the layout
Use one planting module and repeat it across the site.
Planner
Estimate counts, materials, and watering.
Species
Build a native shortlist for your region.

Density
3-4 saplings per sq m

Field unit
One planting module repeated
How many saplings per square meter does the planner assume?
The planner uses the common Miyawaki execution range of 3 to 4 saplings per square meter. That is dense enough to force vertical competition without pretending every site should be planted identically.
Why does the tool only recommend native species?
The shortlist is intentionally native-first because the point of a Miyawaki forest is rapid ecological recovery, not ornamental planting. Native species handle local insects, rainfall, and long-term resilience better than imported landscape trees.
Are the soil conditioner numbers a final bill of quantities?
No. They are planning figures for procurement and budgeting. Final mixes should still be checked against a local soil test, rainfall pattern, and site drainage behavior.
How long does maintenance usually last before the patch becomes self-sustaining?
Most sites still need active watering, weeding, and replacement planting through the first 24 to 36 months. The taper point depends on canopy closure, soil moisture retention, and local monsoon behavior.
