Volunteers, residents and scouts helping to plant trees
Welcome to our Tiny Forest
The Dunnock Road Tiny Forest was planted in February 2024 by local residents and scouts from the 7th Corby Scouts Group, in collaboration with North Northamptonshire Council. The forest has been funded by RAIN (Resilience and Innovation Northants) to act as natural flood management in an area prone to flooding.
