      <image:title>Updates - Happy Birthday ICHK Forest!</image:title>
      <image:caption>So four months after planting, we executed Operation Wood Chip removal, and replaced the wood chips with leaves and grasses manually collected from Hong Kong’s outlying islands. You could visually see the forest breathe a sigh of relief. A few more cocktails were added to give a boost — seaweed for immunity, milk and molasses for microbial activity. Within a month, yellow leaves had turned to green, and the forest was clearly in a better state.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Happy Birthday ICHK Forest!</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s hard to believe that it has already been over a year since we planted our first Miyawaki forest with the enthusiastic students and teachers at ICHK Hong Lok Yuen. While the forest hasn’t grown as impressively as some Miyawaki forests around the world, it is now stable and doing well, with our tallest trees being over 2m in height (from just 30cm tall when planted!) and other trees are becoming bushier and greener thanks to all the summer rainfall Hong Kong has been blessed with over the past few months.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Happy Birthday ICHK Forest!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Besides helping with weeding and mulching, the students have continued to add to the sensory path in the middle. With the latest being a series of mosaic tiles done during their Art classes. They have previously put in painted stones and bamboo sticks and we’re looking forward to seeing what they will add next.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Happy Birthday ICHK Forest!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Finally a shoutout goes to the bushy corner at end of the forest, which in the past had been an old long jump sandpit prone to flooding each year. This year, the forest seems to have absorbed all excess water (and sewage pipe leak!) and is growing denser than other parts of the forest. So even in its first year, the forest has already been performing an important ecosystem service!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Happy Birthday ICHK Forest!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since then, we have been adding compost and mulch every few months to give the plants a little boost. And some areas have grown exponentially over the last few months. Our strongest trio being a cluster of a Clammy Cherry (Cordia dichotoma), a HK Abacus Plant (Glochidion hongkongensis) and the rare Camphor Tree (Cinnamon Camphora) — a stunning example of what a Miyawaki forest should be like after a year! Trees often spend a lot of time in the beginning building roots underground, so we expect to see more growth spurts in our second year. Nevertheless, it’s great seeing some sections of the forest flourish already. It’s now actually hard to measure some of the trees as they tower way above our heads.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - Opportunity to plant a real forest on your school campus this year! Apply Now. - What’s a Miyawaki forest?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Miyawaki is a forest planting method that plants native tree species extremely densely together to mimic the natural way that a forest grows. A Miyawaki forest is more resilient than trees planted alone, absorbs more carbon, cleans the air and can helps to cool down our city. Plus, the more diversity we plant, the more food and habitat we create for the hundreds of birds, bees and other animals that call Hong Kong home. For your students, spending time in nature not only reduces stress and improves attention span; it also lowers the risk of developing mental health issues as adults. Not to mention that Hong Kong has a wide range of edible, medicinal and other fascinating species to learn about.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Updates - We’re featured on Green Queen! - This School In Hong Kong Is Planting The City’s First Miyawaki Forest</image:title>
      <image:caption>In Hong Kong, a school is now planting the city’s first Miyawaki forest, a miniature forest-planting method developed by late Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. Partnering with newly established local social enterprise Nature Makers Lab, ICHK Hong Lok Yuen will be planting more than 50 native species on site as part of the school’s environmental education push.

      <image:title>What we do - MIYAWAKI FORESTS</image:title>
      <image:caption>A tiny Miyawaki forest is a densely packed native forest set up in an urban landscape. These can be as small as 25m2 — just above the size of 2 parking spaces. In Hong Kong, a 100m2 site can host up to 400 native trees and shrubs, benefitting almost 1000 birds, bees and butterfly species. These forests help reduce air and noise pollution, prevent floods, act as typhoon buffers and can be designed to include spaces for outdoor play and spiritual connection.

      <image:title>What we do - INNOVATIVE CUSTOM SPACES</image:title>
      <image:caption>Real estate is expensive but that doesn’t mean we can’t create more spaces for nature. Street sides, fences, walls and hedgerows are all opportunities to link nature from the hills to the coast. We can also plant clusters of native trees or shrubs in small gaps of land that are otherwise unused. It is also a chance to create more areas in the city that do more than just beautify. Native species can help filter air and noise pollution, provide food and habitat for birds and insects and help cool down any location on a hot day. Using design thinking methods, we conduct co-creation workshops think of solutions that work best for you and your community. These are highly visual, facilitated sessions that help you deep dive into your challenge and brainstorm ideas that could work for your space.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What we do - NATURE-BASED LEARNING</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Plant blindness” is a common phenomenon in cities. Being more aware of our surroundings is the first step to becoming guardians of biodiversity. Did you know that Hong Kong has its own variety of edible raspberries, wild cucumber and mangosteen? Or that our iconic Bauhinia tree has a climbing relative that is a favourite of butterflies? From nature walks to interactive workshops, learn more about our local species, their history and uses. We can customize workshops suitable for all ages. Nature Makers Lab workshops were not only educational but enjoyable and engaging for all of the Year 4/5 students. It contributed to helping our students appreciate and learn more about Hong Kong flora.” – Sha Tin Junior School</image:caption>
