Welcome to our Tiny Forest

St James' Park Tiny Forest was planted on 21st March with Bishop's Stortford High School, Thorley Hill Primary and Grove Cottage Mencap group. The Tiny Forest is the result of an excellent partnership between Earthwatch Europe and Countryside (now part of the Vistry Group) and is situated on a new development in the market town of Bishop's Stortford. The Tiny Forest will be looked after by school students and the local community.
