Miyawaki Forest:

Andhra Pradesh Forest Development Corporation has raised a novel High Density Miyawaki Forest.Miyawaki Forest is a unique way of technique of raising high density forest with local and indigenous tree species. This technique is pioneered by Japanese agro-botanist Akira Miyawaki. The approach is to ensure that plant growth is 10 times faster and the resulting plantation is 30 times denser than the conventional plantation / forest. It involves planting  native species in High Density in the same area and becomes maintenance-free after three years. Using this method, APFDC is planting tall seedlings in the Eco-tourism centre. Trees and climbers are also being grown in the total area to enhance aesthetic beauty of eco-tourism site by using suitable climbers and tree species to blend the infrastructure built with natural environment. A beautiful eco-friendly natural  camping area and eco restaurant are part of Nature Interpretation centre .With all the above, the Suryalanka Nature Camp area is certainly a great  natural attraction to the visitors.

Benefits :

• High Density Forest in a small area.
• Rich Bio-diversity
• Unique centre of learning Ecology, Environment and Natural Bio-mix
• Pollution free serene atmosphere
