Tiny Forest is a dense fast-growing native woodland of 600 trees planted densely in a tennis-court size plot, maximising benefits per m2 of land.

Running? Lifting? I'll do that only for GoodGym.
I am sorry to let you know that Earthwatch have to postpone the Tiny Forest planting at Cuckoo ParkΒ because of the flooding of the site, which means the soil cannot be prepared in time. They are hoping that the session can be postponed to next Friday (7thΒ March 2025).
Best wishes
