In a mountain village nestled in the Andes, a Miyawaki Forest is crucial for San Gabriel School.
This once-overlooked institution urgently needed a forest to aid environmental education and shield against extreme weather. The project has transformed conditions, adding beauty and a stimulating environment.
The Miyawaki Forest encourages education, Nature appreciation, and conservation.
