In the heart of District Six, Cape Town, a Miyawaki forest is taking root as a powerful symbol of renewal and reconciliation. Set against the slopes of Table Mountain, this pocket forest will soon offer a sanctuary—providing shade, an outdoor classroom, and a playground for children. Once severed from the land through forced removals, the District Six community was left without green spaces in this central location.

Now, as the second Miyawaki forest in the Cape Town City Bowl, located next to the school's library, this forest represents a chance to heal the land, purify the air, and revive the spirit of a place where children can learn and play beneath its growing canopy.

“This forest signifies intergenerational healing and a cultural link between the school community and the mountain. It's a testament to the resilience of a community that refuses to forget and continues to grow.”
