Welcome to our Tiny Forest
This Severn Trent Tiny Forest has been created to give your community more access to green space and leave a lasting environmental legacy of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. This forest is one of 72 Tiny Forests to be planted as part of this project, each representing a Commonwealth country or nation. This Tiny Forest represents Maldives and is named after their national bird, the white-breasted waterhen.
