Welcome to our Tiny Forest
Pentland View Park’s Wee Forest was planted on 21 March 2023 by local residents and volunteers, alongside several Primary School classes from the local schools. It is located in Pentland View Park and was funded by NatureScot, in collaboration with the City of Edinburgh Council who provided the land.
