Prof. Akira Miyawaki will speak at CU on healing power of forests In his book, Prof Miyawaki challenges citizens to plant 'native forests of native trees' to increase the chances for achieving a sustainable way of life 'before it is too late.' - LMW Click on headline for complete article By Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University Dr. Richard Kessler, Associate Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies Program Coordinator at Campbellsville University, announces that Dr. Akira Miyawaki, a respected Japanese authority on forest ecology and conservation, will be the guest speaker on Wednesday, November 13, 2013, at 10amCT/11amET, in Campbellsville University's Banquet Hall in the Badgett Academic Support Center, 110 University Drive, Campbellsville, KY. The lecture is free and open to the public. Dr. Miyawaki consults with TGKY in Lebanon, KY. on a global reforestation project and he and his team have visited CU's Clay Hill Memorial Forest. He is co author of the book The Healing Power of Forests, The Philosophy Behind Restoring Earth's Balance with Native Trees By Akira Miyawaki and Elgene O. Box, which describes the successful techniques in recreating depleted forests on the basis of environmental studies. The book challenges citizens to plant 'native forests of native trees' to increase the chances for achieving a sustainable way of life'before it is too late.' Miyawaki, a vegetation ecologist and professor emeritus of Yokohama National University, is the director of the IGES-Japanese Center for International Studies in Ecology. He promotes forest regeneration by using the local potential natural vegetation (PNV), a concept used to investigate and evaluate the theoretical potential of the natural environment of an area that may have had its environmental and geographical conditions modified by human activities over time. Creating a forest by closely planting together different types of natural vegetation of the land, using the PNV concept, is referred to as the Miyawaki Method.
