Welcome to our Tiny Forest

The Tiny Forest at John Claire Recreation Ground was planted on 22nd March 2024. Fifty children from the nearby Shooting Stars and Caverstede Nursery Schools opened up the planting day, which was then finished off by a group of over 40 local residents. The project was funded by the Forestry Commission, with kind support from Funding Circle and the WFH Foundation.

Led by: Earthwatch Europe
