City staff described the chosen technique as the Mawaki method, which pairs heavy use of compost with dense, simultaneous planting to jump-start a biodiverse pocket of forest.
A staff member said the approach "relies on compost and dense simultaneous planting" and contended the method accelerates growth through plant competition. The transcript presents no supporting study or in-field data, so the claim about growth rate should be treated as an on-the-record practitioner assertion rather than independently verified fact.
