Come along to plant a tree in the Tiny Forest just off Hanger Lane, in Hanger Hill Park on Friday 13 December. Ealing Council are working with Earthwatch Europe, an environmental charity to establish a new Tiny Forest at Hanger Hill Park, Ealing 🌳
What is a tiny forest?
A Tiny Forest is a dense, fast-growing, native woodland made up of 600 trees planted in a tennis court-sized plot. They are not only an attractive location for wildlife 🦋 but are great for people to enjoy as well and can provide a range of benefits in the fight against climate change. This Tiny Forest was funded through the Forestry Commission and Microsoft.
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. So these tiny forests bring the benefits of woodland into our cities and provide access to connect with natural world.
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.
