Tiny Forest
Connecting people with nature in urban areas by creating a Tiny Forest and monitoring the benefits it provides as it grows.
Connecting people with nature in urban areas by creating a Tiny Forest and monitoring the benefits it provides as it grows.
Fast growing Tiny Forests attract biodiversity to areas with little green space.
At each Tiny Forest we aim to engage over 200 people.
Tiny Forest brings the benefits of woodlands into the heart of our cities and urban spaces: connecting people with nature, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change, as well as providing spaces to support wildlife. It is a dense, fast-growing native woodland, about the size of a tennis court. Tiny Forests are planted in urban locations, where nature is most needed. They are living laboratories where we collect environmental and social data to help us understand the benefits they provide.
