Miyawaki Forest Plantation in Ahmedabad
Dense native forests on a small plot, planted and maintained for your CSR programme. Across Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, from ₹1,900 per sq m.
For Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar
The Miyawaki method plants three to four native saplings per square metre in prepared soil, so a small plot grows into a dense, self-sustaining forest within a few years. We find or prepare the site, plant, maintain until the forest is established and give you the records your CSR report needs.
Our team for Ahmedabad serves SG Highway, Prahlad Nagar, Bodakdev, Thaltej, Satellite, Vastrapur, Bopal, GIFT City, Sanand GIDC and Changodar. Contracts can cover several sites in the city, or across cities, under one agreement.
Who it is for — Companies with CSR budgets, housing societies, schools and municipalities.

Local conditions
Planning for Ahmedabad's climate
Fig. 01Climate and soil
Ahmedabad has very hot, dry summers and a short monsoon, so water is the main constraint. Drip irrigation, mulching and drought-tolerant native plants make gardens here last.
Fig. 02When to plant and how to care
Plant in the monsoon in July and August. Winter from November to February is the best growing season. From April to June, water early in the morning and shade young plants.
CSR Miyawaki Forest · Ahmedabad
What the riverfront forest shows about the local soil
Ahmedabad already has a working example of the Miyawaki method inside the city: the Urban Forest at Paldi on the Sabarmati Riverfront, planted at five saplings per square metre with about 70,000 saplings going in, and now holding close to 7,000 trees across more than 120 species. A CSR forest planned anywhere else in the city can be checked against that project's own outcome rather than against a method described only in theory.
The Paldi site sits on the same sandy, dry ground that underlies most of the city, and its planting still needed the standard Miyawaki step of building up the soil with organic matter before the saplings went in, a step a CSR budget here should not try to shortcut.
Species choice at scale in that project leaned on trees that can establish in Ahmedabad's short monsoon window, mid-June to mid-September, when about 800 mm of rain arrives in a compressed few months rather than spread across the year.
A small plot can still follow the same numbers
A CSR forest of 500 to 2,000 square metres, the size most companies commit to, follows the same five-saplings-per-square-metre density as the riverfront project rather than a lighter planting rate, since density is what drives the canopy closing quickly and the site needing less watering after the first two or three years.
The riverfront's wider investment in engineered green space
The Sabarmati Riverfront project as a whole reclaimed about 202.79 hectares of land along 11.25 kilometres of river bank, with roughly a quarter of that under parks and gardens, and the Paldi Urban Forest is one part of that wider programme rather than an isolated project.
The Subhash Bridge Park nearby, a 6-hectare site with a lotus lake and stepwell that opened in 2013, shows the same city investing in ordinary landscaped parkland alongside the denser Miyawaki planting, worth knowing when a CSR sponsor is choosing between a dense forest and a more open, walkable garden for their own site.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is there a working Miyawaki forest already in Ahmedabad to see?
Yes. The Urban Forest at Paldi on the Sabarmati Riverfront was planted by this method and now holds close to 7,000 trees across more than 120 species, on a site divided by the Ambedkar Bridge.
Does Ahmedabad's dry soil need extra preparation for a Miyawaki forest?
Yes. The city's ground is sandy and dry through most of it, so the soil-building step before planting, working organic matter into the whole plot, matters more here than in a region with naturally rich topsoil.
Is the Miyawaki method the only way the city has approached planting at scale?
No. The Sabarmati Riverfront combines the dense Miyawaki forest at Paldi with more open, walkable parks such as Subhash Bridge Park, and a CSR sponsor can choose either approach, or a mix, depending on the site and the goal.
Do you provide csr miyawaki forest across Ahmedabad?
Yes. We work across Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, including SG Highway, Prahlad Nagar, Bodakdev, Thaltej, Sanand GIDC and Changodar.

CSR Miyawaki Forest in Ahmedabad starts from ₹1,900 per sq m. The final price depends on the size of the space and what is included, and you receive it as a fixed price in a written proposal.
How do you serve Ahmedabad?

How much land does a Miyawaki forest need?
A forest can be started on as little as 100 sq m. Most CSR projects are between 500 and 2,000 sq m.
How long before it needs no maintenance?
Usually two to three years of watering and weeding, after which the canopy closes and the forest sustains itself.
