Welcome to our Tiny Forest

This Tiny Forest was planted in partnership with Buckinghamshire Council and a local-based sustainable bed manufacturer Hypnos. It was funded by both the Forestry Commission, though Local Authority Treescapes Fund, and by Hypnos. The planting day saw over 150 children from Princes Risborough School and the local primary school planting trees. The event was also supported by Hypnos employee volunteers, Princes Risborough Town Mayor, county and town councillors as well as local community groups. This planting is supporting the Queens Green Canopy and the Lord Lieutenant, Lady Howe, presented the QGC plaque at the planting event.
