Miyawaki forests for Ahmedabad.
High-density native plantations for CSR programmes, corporate campuses, and civic land across Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, and Gujarat, documented at our own 3.35-acre Makarba site with 60,000+ plants and 90%+ survival.
Why the Miyawaki method fits Ahmedabad
Heat · dust · short monsoon · sandy soils
Ahmedabad lives with some of India’s sharpest urban heat, dust-laden air, and a monsoon that delivers most of its ~800 mm in a compressed window. Conventional ornamental planting struggles here. Dense native plantations — three to five saplings per square metre, species drawn from Gujarat’s own dry-deciduous palette, close canopy fast, shade the ground, and hold the water the city gets.
The city has already proved the method at civic scale: the urban forests along the Sabarmati riverfront and AMC plots across Makarba and Vastrapur show what high-density native planting becomes in Ahmedabad soil. We build on that precedent with survival-documented execution.
Heat, answered
Closed canopy measurably lowers surface temperature and cools the surrounding microclimate: the difference between a plaque and a place people use.
Species that belong
Our planting lists come from a 616-species native library: Gujarat-adapted trees, shrubs, and ground layers chosen for sandy soil and a short water window.
Soil, prepared properly
Ahmedabad’s ground needs organic matter built up before a single sapling goes in. We do the unglamorous soil work first. It is why our survival holds.
Water, respected
Mulching, percolation planning, and recharge shafts alongside plantation, so the site drinks what falls rather than depending on tankers forever.
Proven at Makarba, Ahmedabad.
Our own executed project: two phases planted July 2023 and July 2024 on degraded, debris-strewn land inside Ahmedabad. Every number below is documented, geo-tagged, and auditable.

Who we build forests for
From Schedule VII CSR programmes to a society’s back garden. The method scales, and so does the paperwork behind it.
CSR & CER programmes
Section 135-aligned plantations with survival documentation, geo-tagged evidence, and GST invoicing: direct vendor, no intermediary.
Corporate campuses & industrial plots
Greenbelts and visitable forests for plants and offices: Sanand GIDC, Changodar, and corridor sites along SG Highway.
Institutions & schools
Living biodiversity campuses that double as outdoor classrooms, with species labels and monitoring students can take part in.
Municipal & civic land
AMC and panchayat plots planted in partnership with CSR funders, the model the city’s own urban forests follow.
Housing societies
A real forest on the amenity plot: shade, birds, and a measurable drop in summer heat where residents actually live.
Private landowners
Farm borders, estate corners, and unused parcels converted to self-sustaining native forest with a fixed written price.

Investment tiers
Fixed written proposals at every scale. The same tiers, terms, and documentation we offer across India.
Pilot
₹1.5–5 Lakhs
A proof plot on your own land, typically 100–500 m² with full soil prep, planting, and one season of maintenance.
Standard CSR
₹5–25 Lakhs
500–5,000 m² ecological systems with 80–200+ species, compliance documentation, and establishment maintenance.
Multi-acre
₹25 Lakhs+
Institutional and municipal-scale restoration, phased like Makarba, with multi-year monitoring programmes.
Full tier detail on the services page. Every proposal is a fixed written price. No open-ended maintenance billing.
Questions Ahmedabad clients ask.
How much does a Miyawaki forest cost in Ahmedabad?
Pilot plantations run ₹1.5–5 lakh, standard CSR projects ₹5–25 lakh, and multi-acre restoration programmes are scoped above ₹25 lakh. Cost scales with plot size, species count, soil preparation needs, and the reporting depth your CSR audit requires. Every proposal is a fixed written price.
How long before the forest is self-sustaining?
We maintain every site for 24 months: watering, weeding, gap planting, and survival documentation. By the third monsoon the canopy typically closes and the forest sustains itself, as our Makarba phases show.
Do you plant on AMC or municipal land?
Yes. We deliver plantations on municipal and AMC-adjacent plots in partnership with CSR funders, the same model behind the city’s existing urban forests, alongside corporate, institutional, and society land.
Do you serve Gandhinagar and GIFT City?
Yes, our studio is in Sector 19, Gandhinagar. We plant across Gandhinagar, GIFT City, and the full Ahmedabad metropolitan region; site visits are same-week.
What survival rate can we expect?
90%+ documented survival across our executed phases at Makarba, verified with geo-tagged monitoring and photographic evidence trails your ESG auditors can check, not a promise on a proposal cover.
