"Welcome to Tiny Forest on ChangeX! We are excited to support a non-profit organisation, school or community in Geermany to create their very own Tiny Forest! Find out here how you can bring more quality nature to your doorstep and take part in this innovative project." - Louise Hartley
Earthwatch will deliver 1.5 days of online training. There are then a number of steps to go through to create a Tiny Forest, typically over a 10-week period in the lead up to planting. This includes site assessment and soil surveying, tree species selection, forest design, community consultation, soil preparation and then planting (between October-March). After planting activities will be run to engage the community in maintaining and monitoring the forest.
