Miyawaki forests are dense, native forests that can be grown in urban and rural areas alike. They are known for their rapid growth and ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This graphic shows a timeline for planting a Miyawaki forest. It takes about three years for a Miyawaki forest to become self-sustaining.

As organizações que fazem parte da Rede de Mini-Florestas de Portugal reúnem-se para um dia de comunidade, conexão e natureza. No dia 23 de maio, vamos juntar vários dos membros da rede. Na totalidade já foram plantadas 62 mini forestas, por todo o país. Junta-te a nós para saberes mais sobre as florestas Miyawaki e para ajudar a cuidar de uma das nossas mini-florestas, preparando-a para a chegada do verão. Será um momento para conectar, trocar ideias e desfrutar de tempo ao ar livre. Leva água, um chapéu e veste roupa confortável. Se planeias participar, envia-nos uma mensagem privada para podermos organizar tudo. Contamos contigo! 📅 23 de maio ⏰ 10:00 📍 Av.

Com entusiasmo e curiosidade, cerca de 80 jovens da Academia do Saber juntaram-se esta 2ª feira na Floresta Miyawaki de Benfica para uma tarde de descoberta e contacto com a natureza. Embora ainda jovem, esta floresta foi o cenário ideal para uma atividade prática de aplicação de mulching, cobertura natural feita de madeira triturada e borras de café que ajuda a proteger o solo e a reduzir a necessidade de adubos químicos nos espaços verdes da freguesia. O Vogal dos Espaços Verdes, Hernâni Silva, marcou presença na iniciativa, participando ativamente e testemunhando o entusiasmo dos jovens. Este projeto, desenvolvido com o apoio da Forest Impact e financiado pela Fujitsu, demonstra como a educação ambiental e o envolvimento da comunidade podem cultivar um futuro mais verde e sustentável para Benfica. #ods4 #ods13 #ods15

Planted in January 2024 thanks to *Adapt Cascais* funding, our tiny Miyawaki forest is now over two years old and thriving! As spring begins, it’s bursting with life, proving that a dense, native ecosystem can flourish with just rainwater and only 4-5 waterings per year. By the end of 2026, we’ll be planting two more of these biodiversity hotspots in the Cascais Municipality, in urban areas where native species and real ecosystems are needed most. You may have noticed we’ve been quiet on social media, well, don’t worry, it’s only because we’ve been busy behind the scenes, finalising even more projects for our incredible community. Stay tuned for updates! #MiyawakiForest #Biodiversity #UrbanGreening #cascais #naturebasedsolutions

Why are so many trees falling after heavy rain? It’s not just the wind. After long periods of rain, soils become saturated and trees lose stability. When soil is waterlogged: • Roots lose grip • Oxygen in the soil drops • Fine anchoring roots weaken • The tree becomes heavier above and weaker below A gust of wind can then be enough to cause sudden uprooting , often after the storm, not during it. This is where forests make a difference. Planting isolated trees is not the same as planting a forest. In a forest ecosystem: • Roots interlock and support each other • Diverse plants improve soil structure and drainage • Organic matter feeds fungi and microorganisms • Water is absorbed, stored, and released more slowly Healthy forests create stable soils, not just green canopies. As rainfall patterns become more intense and irregular, the question is no longer how many trees we plant but how we build resilient ecosystems. #Tempestades #ChuvaIntensa #ClimaExtremo #ResiliênciaClimática #Portugal

🇬🇧 Today at Cascais Town Hall, the selected projects for the 3rd edition of the AdaptCascais Fund were presented. It’s inspiring to see so many organizations coming together to strengthen the resilience of our territories. In 2026, we’ll be planting two more Miyawaki forests in the municipality of Cascais, and we couldn’t be prouder to be part of this journey. 💚 In this short video, you can see how the first Miyawaki forest, planted in 2024 thanks to the AdaptCascais Fund, is doing today: pretty well, we’d say! 🌱 We hope to see you all again at our next planting. @cascais_oficial 🇵🇹 Hoje, na Câmara Municipal de Cascais, foram apresentados os projetos selecionados para a 3.ª edição do Fundo AdaptCascais. É inspirador ver tantas organizações a trabalhar em conjunto para reforçar a resiliência do território. Em 2026, vamos plantar mais duas florestas Miyawaki no concelho de Cascais, e não podíamos estar mais orgulhosos de fazer parte deste caminho. 💚 Neste pequeno vídeo, podem ver como está hoje a primeira floresta Miyawaki, plantada em 2024 com o apoio do Fundo AdaptCascais: diríamos que está a correr muito bem! 🌱 Esperamos ver-vos na próxima plantação! #ForestImpact #AdaptCascais #MiyawakiForest #FlorestaMiyawaki #ClimateResilience NatureBasedSolutions Biodiversity RewildPortugal Cascais GreenCities

Our 2026 couldn’t have started on a better note! We have two more Miyawaki forests in the making this year. Thanks to the AdaptCascais 2026 Fund, we’ll be able to plant two new Miyawaki forests in the municipality of Cascais, helping bring more nature, biodiversity, and climate resilience to the area. We’re currently taking care of the formal steps, and we’ll share more details soon. Stay tuned, exciting things are growing. 🌳 📸 The photos shared here were taken a few weeks ago in our existing Miyawaki forests in Cascais. 🇵🇹 2026 não podia começar melhor! Temos duas novas florestas Miyawaki a caminho este ano. Graças ao Fundo AdaptCascais 2026, vamos poder criar duas novas florestas Miyawaki no concelho de Cascais, reforçando a biodiversidade e a resiliência do território. Estamos agora a tratar de todas as formalidades necessárias e, assim que tivermos mais detalhes, partilhamos tudo convosco. Fiquem atentos, coisas boas estão a crescer. 💚 📸 As imagens que partilhamos foram captadas há algumas semanas numa floresta Miyawaki já existentes em Cascais. #ForestImpact #MiyawakiForest #Rewilding #Biodiversity #ClimateResilience
