Welcome to our Tiny Forest
Queen Margaret Univeristy’s Wee Forest was planted in February 2022 by university staff, students and pupils from local primary schools. It is located within the grounds of the university and was funded by NatureScot. There is an outdoor classroom area which will form part of the outdoor learning hub for students.
