Tocal Agricultural College

Welcome to our Tiny Forest

Tocal Tiny Forest aims to showcase the benefits of tiny forest in a rural setting for land restoration and biodiversity. This project includes a side-by-side planting of the Miyawaki method next to an area planted traditionally – highlighting the differences over time. Planting of 1110 native plants of 39 species was completed by Tocal College staff, students and the wider community in September 2024. This tiny forest project was led by The Groundswell Collective, funded by Carbon Positive Australia and supported by Hunter Urban Forests.

Led by: Earthwatch Australia
