Welcome to our Tiny Forest
Newcastle's first Tiny Forest was planted on 15th March 2023, in partnership with the North East Community Forest, Newcastle City Council, and the Queen's Green Canopy. The planting was attended by pupils from West Denton Primary School, local residents, and the Tiny Forest was officially opened by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant and the Lord Mayor of Newcastle.
