Ancient and natural indigenous bridge building which is sustainable and zero waste, with a negative carbon foot print
Root bridges are a simple type of suspension bridge, formed by guiding living plant roots of a rubber fig tree, also known as a FISCUS ELASTICA across a stream or river, and then allowing the roots to grow and strengthen over time until they can hold the weight of a human being.
The young roots are sometimes tied or twisted together, and are often encouraged to combine with one another via the process of inosculation.
As the Ficus elastica tree is well suited to anchoring itself to steep slopes and rocky surfaces, it is not difficult to encourage its roots to take hold on the opposite sides of river banks.
