          Project criteria 
          Essential                         How does your site meet these criteria? 
          Need a site in an urban or semi-urban area (for 
          example town, village setting). 
                                2
          Need a site of approximately 260m  (the size of a 
          tennis court) for the actual Miyawaki Forest. This 
          area can be of any shape or orientation, with paths 
          through it, but the forest must not be narrower 
          than 4m across at any point. 
                                         Page 2 of 4 
      Need a site that is accessible for large machinery - 
      digger needed for soil preparation, truck delivery 
      of fencing, trees, soil improvers and mulch.  
      No underground infrastructure - soil will be 
      excavated to 1m depth. Need to ensure that no 
      water pipes or gas mains etc. are near to the 
      planting area. 
      No overhead infrastructure - trees will grow to 
      20m or more. Needs to be away from overhead 
      power cables, phone lines or large trees (however, 
      trees on the edge of the site can be incorporated 
      into the design. 
      Permission of the landowner to plant the forest at 
      the site. No future site development plans and 
      agreement signed with NNDC. 
      Site must be planted by end of December 2023.

      Project criteria 
      Desirable             How does your site meet these criteria? 
      Possible water access point - trees may need 
      watering during first 2 years of growth, so a water 
      access point needs to be located nearby or access 
      for a vehicle and water bowser to get to the site.  
      Need a site that is not causing obstruction to 
      people’s right of way (the forest becomes very 
      dense and impassable unless a specific pathway is 
      incorporated into the design).  
      Site should not be designated as sensitive in any 
      way (for example SSSI, SAC, Ramsar).  
      Site should be an open area (we do not want trees 
      to be removed to plant new ones!). Some scrub or 
      low vegetation is fine, as are trees on the edge of 
      the proposed site. 
      Site accessible or enjoyable by the public or a 
      specific community group or organisation.
