Wee Forest Planting Day at Granton Crescent Park, Edinburgh

Edinburgh City Council and Banister Charitable Trust are working with Earthwatch Europe to establish a new Wee Forest in Granton Crescent Park, Edinburgh. 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.

Join us on Thursday 2nd March where we will be planting the trees that will make up the Tiny Forest. The event is free to attend and open to all ages.

Equipment will be provided on the day but feel free to bring along your own gardening gloves and a spade if you have these. Please also bring any refreshments you will need whilst planting - we find a warming cup of tea is always a good idea!

The exact location is here (55°58'45.6"N 3°13'25.8"W | WTW ///fault.asleep.occupy) and it can be accessed via Granton Crescent.
