Development and Afforestation are not mutually exclusive… we want to demonstrate this by giving forests a new definition; one that is relevant in this rapidly developing world.
We believe it is time to shift from manicured landscapes to purpose based plantations that contribute to better air quality, water conservation, checking global warming and supporting the overall ecosystem. Acacia Eco is working towards creating Miyawaki forests that are fast growing and sustainable.
ACACIA: REDEFINING FORESTS

​
If we were to ask you to close your eyes and think of a forest – most of you would be seeing variations of large areas covered with trees. It’s hard to think of how individuals can contribute to afforestation at a personal level, when we think of forests that way.
But imagine a new definition of forests – forests that are small and modular; forests that can be ‘inserted’ in empty spaces around you!

SMART
selection of plant species based on soil, climate and usage; plantation techniques allowing for 10x faster growth
MODULAR
customised modern day plantations that can be modified and inserted in everyday spaces available around us
SUSTAINABLE
no maintenance required after 2 years; biodiverse plantations enabling ecosystems of birds and butterflies
THE MIYAWAKI METHOD
A unique methodology proven to work in varied soil and climate conditions, resulting is a fast growing, sustainable, chemical free forests.
10x faster plant growth
Around 30-40 different native species
30x denser than conventional plantations
Upto 30x more carbon -dioxide absorption
Self sustainable in two years
Substantially higher noise and dust isolation
Supports ecosystem of birds and butterflies
OUR PROCESS
End to end project execution and maintenance
1. SOIL AND WATER TESTING FOR SELECTED SITES
Tree selection and soil treatment requirements are determined based on the results
2. IDENTIFICATION OF TREE SPECIES FOR SITE
Native tree species are selected based on the soil/water, type of site and client preferences
3. PROCUREMENT OF MATERIAL AND SAPLINGS
Material like organic manure and saplings are procured, many of this comes from our in house nursery
4. SOIL PREPARATION AS PER MIYAWAKI METHODOLGY
The soil’s water retention capacity, perforation and available nutrition content is enhanced
5. MIYAWAKI METHOD CLUSTER PLANTATION
Cluster plantation has different tree species planted in close proximity - between 3 to 4 trees in 1 sq. m area
6. MAINTENANCE AND GROWTH MONITORING
Regular watering and weeding is done for two years post which the forest becomes self sustained
Our commitment to nature is real. We don‘t have all the solutions, but our immediate role is clear – plant enough trees to have an impact!
