Watch this space for an up date on a day of extremes! Failure, rain, hope ,repair, smiles, sun and completion! On the tiny tour.

My Campervan started to break down when the alternator failed. With the battery not being charged by the engine I had power failure lights come on for ABS, power, steering and airbags. This was not good, so I decided to try and get my campervan fixed and with a heavy heart abandoned this Tiny Forest mission. Very kindly Sophie from Earthwatch( who came to help me,) and Divya continued with the mission.

Sophie is an Earth Watch scientist who will be processing the data that we gather as a community. She said the following..

Exploring how Tiny Forest’s sequester carbon is exciting and unusual research. There is no empirical evidence documents carbon sequestration and growth dynamics in Miyawaki forests. Both of which are influenced by canopy structure and soil properties, which is especially unusual at our Tiny Forests sites. I’m excited to help understand how carbon and growth at our unique sites differ to conventional tree planting.
