Welcome to our Tiny Forest

Chippenham's Tiny Forest was planted in Monkton Park by members of the local community, pupils from Monkton Park Primary School, and enthusiastic volunteers from Siemens Mobility, who also sponsored the Tiny Forest. The Tiny Forest is park of a wider plan to increase tree cover in the area, through the Monkton Park management plan.
