Welcome to our Tiny Forest
The Pakapakanthi Tiny Forest was planted on September 08, 2024, by the South East City Residents Association community volunteer group, Green Pakapakanthi. The Tiny Forest is situated on the banks of a wetland built in 2022 in Adelaide’s iconic Park Lands to control flooding during severe weather events. The wetland, which was extensively planted with aquatic plant species is already a haven for aquatic birds. Now, over 420 additional endemic native plants – mainly shrubs and a few sub-canopy trees - have been planted in the Tiny Forest to mimic a small riparian scrub to attract other small birds, butterflies and insects. Green Pakapakanthi has teamed up with Earthwatch Australia to help the local community monitor and learn from the forest.
