Welcome to our Tiny Forest

This Tiny Forest in Flitwick, Central Bedfordshire was planted in partnership with Central Bedfordshire Council and Flitwick Town Council in February 2024 on a very wet day! Local residents and students from the neighbouring school, Kingsmoor Lower School, still got stuck in despite the weather and planted all 600 trees and shrubs across the day. This forest was funded by the Forestry Commission, through the Local Authority Treescape Fund, secured by Central Bedfordshire Council.
