Welcome to our Tiny Forest

The Tiny Forest planted at Barley Croft Primary School is one of 10 planted in Leicester City funded by the Local Authority Treescapes Fund 2022. The 10 Tiny Forests will be planted in schools across the city, in partnership with Leicester City Council, as part of their Sustainable Schools programme. Each of these Tiny Forests will include a classroom area with benches to encourage classes to learn in a natural environment.
