Welcome to our Tiny Forest
This Tiny Forest is planted at Whipsnade Zoo amongst the animals, in partnership with Central Bedfordshire council, in March 2025! The Tiny Forest was planted with the help of three local school groups, a community group and a group of ZSL staff. An amazing planting day with enthusiasm and mud enjoyed by all. The forest includes a seating area within the design to welcome in visitors and passers-by to enjoy this natural space on their zoo visit.
