Welcome to our Tiny Forest

The Tiny Forest at Frank Banfield Park was planted on 25th March by community members, school students, and local community groups Friends of Frank Banfield Park and Hammersmith Community Gardens Association. The green space in Frank Banfield Park is being developed to create more biodiverse space and a community allotment - the Tiny Forest was the first development in this plan. The forest was funded by the Forestry Commission, ReThink and WFH Foundation and will be supported by the active community members and Tree Keepers.

Led by: Earthwatch Europe
