In the bustling and dynamic city of Hong Kong, an exciting and visionary project has taken shape to create a pocket forest within an e-waste recycling facility. The implementation of the Miyawaki Method is at the heart of the project; an approach that is particularly well-suited for urban environments like Hong Kong.
By planting WEEE · Park Forest, we anticipate not only the creation of a thriving green space but also tangible benefits such as improved air quality, biodiversity enhancement, and the reduction of urban heat island effects.
The pocket forest will serve as an educational and inspirational resource, encouraging community engagement in sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.

WEEE Park Forest is located at the periphery of WEEE Park, an e-waste recycling plant, capitalising on available open spaces totalling approximately 170 square meters. The chosen site will be organised into 5 circular planting areas, strategically designed to minimise disruption to existing trees and maximise the impact of the new forest ecosystem.
Planting: June 2024
“Through this initiative, we envision a greener and more sustainable Hong Kong that enjoys and appreciates the beauty and ecological significance of native forests within an urban landscape.”
