Welcome to our Tiny Forest

Lewisham’s second tiny forest was planted on 22nd November 2022, to speed up tree growth and bring nature to urban communities. Local councillors and representatives from Bloomberg, the Tiny Forest's sponsor, were joined by pupils from Prendergast Ladywell School to help plant the Tiny Forest. This planting also marked the start of a new partnership between Earthwatch Europe and STEM Learning, with Prendergast Ladywell School and the Tiny Forest at its heart.
