Tiny Forests
Earthwatch Europe’s Tiny Forests are planted in urban locations, where nature is most needed. Tiny Forest brings the benefits of woodland right into the heart of our cities and urban spaces. The forest connects people with nature, helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change, as well as providing nature-rich habitat to support urban wildlife.
The surveys taken on the day will monitor your local Tiny Forest. Using simple accessible scientific methods you will submit your data using this specially designed platform. Data is analysed by our scientists to better assess the benefits these miniature urban woodlands can provide over time and between different forests.
