Welcome to our Tiny Forest
Wirral's second Tiny Forest was planted on 17 November 2021 by local school students. It is located in The Delph and was funded by OVO Foundation, in collaboration with Wirral Borough Council who provided the land. There is an outdoor classroom area that can be used by both schools and local residents.
