The event was witnessed by a limited gathering consisting of children and naval personnel catering for coronavirus precautions. This project uses the world renowned Miyawaki Afforestation Method to create a dense forest in the middle of the Naval Base at Kochi.
This Miyawaki forest is being created next to the Navy Children School (Kochi) to serve as an encouragement to the next generation on the importance of caring for the environment," the spokesman said in a release. The forest is being set up in the 10 cents of land made available by the Navy.
