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 Sri Lanka and is named after their national flower, the blue water lily.
