Overview

Come and plant a new Tiny Forest at Desborough Recreation Ground, High Wycombe!

This is free to attend and open to all ages

 

Buckinghamshire Council are working with Earthwatch Europe to establish a new Tiny Forest at Desborough Recreation Ground in High Wycombe. 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, Funding Circle and by Heart of Bucks Funding Commission.

Join us on Tuesday, 3rd December where we will be planting the trees that will make up the Tiny Forest.

Location: Desborough Park, Fryers Ln, High Wycombe HP12 3AN. Exact Location here (Coordinates: 51°38'14.8"N 0°46'40.6"W | w3w:https://w3w.co/zooms.prove.crown)

How long to spend with us: The session will run from 2:30pm - 4:00pm. Please arrive towards the start of your session so that everyone who would like to join in has a tree to plant. You are welcome to stay for as little or as long as you like.
