Small urban forests to green our cities and connect communities with nature

A Tiny Forest is a dense, fast-growing native woodland, around the size of a tennis court (approx. 200m2). These forests are not only great homes for butterflies, birds, bees and other wildlife but also a place for people to connect with, and learn about, nature.

"Thank you for creating such a detailed project with activities suitable for all ages and abilities to engage with. The tree planting day was very well organised and educational. The science days and training sessions engaged everyone and provided opportunities for children to try citizen science data collection that they may never have had the opportunity to try before and use equipment such as callipers transferring skills taught in school. Being involved in the project has engaged the whole school. Pupils ask to help with watering and weeding during their lunch break. They enjoy spending time in the Tiny Forest looking at the butterflies and other insects as well as the effects of the changing seasons. We are looking forward to continuing collecting data and sharing photos of our Tiny Forest in the years ahead."
