A Blooming Good Job: 430+ Trees Planted! ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ

Barnet Report written by Jack Da Silva

430+ new trees! ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ

Nearly two months on from the planting of 3 new Tiny Forests in Barnet, GoodGym trio Jack, Paul and George were back for part 2 on another lovely, sunny spring day.


Despite a rocky start (someone stole the Earthwatch shovels before we got to them!), we powered through and got everything planted in the right zones across the 3 newest Tiny Forests.

There were 430+ trees to get in the ground, including sessile oak, english oak, rowan, gray willow, silver birch, broom, downy birch, buckthorn and hornbream.


The Tiny Forests will serve as a living laboratory for local citizen scientists, to collect data and investigate techniques to promote faster tree growth. Each plot uses a slightly different planting system to improve understanding of soil condition, carbon sequestrations and drainage.

In one of the Tiny Forests we planted trees using 1 cup of biochar (a modified charcoal that improves soil quality) underneath the tree roots to help Earthwatch discover its impact on growth and how it affects different tree species.

We look forward to seeing the trees grow tall!

Just a heads up - the soil is pretty parched so we may need to start watering soon, even for the ones that went in deeper. Watch this space!
