Welcome to our Tiny Forest
The St Paul’s Primary School, Gateshead Tiny Forest was planted in September 2024 by St Paul’s staff and students.
The design includes First Nations story poles, a sculpture of the school’s bird totem and 400 native plants from 14 species endemic to the area.
The project was lead by The Groundswell Collective, funded by Taronga Hatch Accelerator Program and supported by Hunter Urban Forests.
