Central Bedfordshire Council: The first Tiny Forests come to Central Bedfordshire

Date Added: 01/11/2022

We've received confirmation of a successful bid of over £150,000 from the Local Authority Treescapes Fund (LATF), to support the planting of its first Tiny Forests.

Tiny Forests, the size of a tennis court, are dense fast-growing native woodland, planted to improve areas of urban tree population and help connect communities to nature in their area. The planting method encourages accelerated forest development without using chemicals or fertilisers and has low maintenance requirements.

In line with the current planting season, (October 2022 to March 2023), the initial tranche of Tiny Forest projects are:
• Caldecote Church of England Academy, Biggleswade
• Cranfield Church of England Academy Saint Paul's Site, Cranfield
• Mentmore Recreation Ground, Dunstable
• Brooklands Middle School, Leighton Buzzard
• Fairfield Lower Park School, Ruskin Drive, Stotfold

Following initial expressions of interest, two more Tiny Forest projects are also confirmed for the 2023/24 tree planting season. Interested applicants for future projects can find out more information by emailing: [email protected]

Environmental charity Earthwatch Europe, pioneers in the Tiny Forest movement, are supporting the projects, alongside our dedicated tree project officer.
Once planted, volunteers from each project will monitor their Tiny Forest to help it flourish.
