Welcome to our Tiny Forest
The South Coast's first Tiny Forest was planted on 11 March 2021 in East Lancing Recreational Ground. It was funded by the DEFRA Green Recovery Challenge Fund, in collaboration with Lancing Parish Council. The design features an outdoor classroom area for use by both local schools and community members.
