New Tiny Forests coming to H&F

Our Tiny Forests, though small in size, play a mighty role in the borough's pioneering climate and ecology strategy. Where should we plant our next one?

Why Tiny Forests?

The 600-tree-strong mini woodlands help mitigate the impacts of climate change by cleaning local air and providing food and shelter for over 500 animal and plant species within just three years of planting.

They will help create more space for wildlife and create climate resilient neighbourhoods by protecting them against flooding, overheating, bringing benefits to both people and nature.

H&F is already home to four sites – Hammersmith Park (White City), Normand Park and Eelbrook Common (Fulham), and Frank Banfield Park (Hammersmith).

Now, we want to grow our network.

Have your say

We have identified potential sites for more Tiny Forests in:

1. Wormholt Park, W12
2. Lillie Road Recreation Ground, SW6
3. Bayonne Park, SW6

Share your views about the proposed sites by taking our short survey below. You can also suggest a new location using either the map or survey tool.

The consultation will remain open until Friday 9 August 2024.
