Tiny Forest Planting Day: Trinity Way, Ealing Tickets, Fri 23 Feb 2024 Eventbrite
Earthwatch Europe charity has partnered up with the Ealing Council to bring our Tiny Forest Project to Acton and Southall. 84% of the UK population now live in urban areas. While urbanisation is increasing, UK urban green space is on an alarming downward trend. This means that people living in urban spaces have less and less access to the natural world. The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. Each Tiny Forest can attract over 500 animal and plant species within the first 3 years. Since 2020, Earthwatch has worked with partners and communities across the UK to plant over 200 Tiny Forests – bringing the benefits of a forest right into the heart of our cities and urban spaces.
