Welcome to our Tiny Forest

Thatcham's first Tiny Forest was planted on 26 November 2021 by local volunteers, hospital staff and patients. It was funded by DEFRA, in collaboration with the West Berkshire Community Hospital Trust who provided the land. There is an outdoor classroom area that can be used by staff, patients and visitors of the hospital.
