Tiny Forest
Small new green spaces delivering health and wellbeing benefits in The Hague.
Good things come in small packages!
A Tiny Forest is a dense, indigenous forest the size of a tennis court. It is not only important for butterflies, birds, bees and small mammals, but also for people.
Children can learn about Dutch nature in the outdoor classroom and local residents meet there. Tiny forests contribute to a biodiverse and a climate proof environment, and help citizens come closer to nature and each other. The Institute for Nature Education and Sustainability (IVN) will develop 100 Tiny Forests in the Netherlands. Plans are underway to develop at least two of such spaces in The Hague over the next three years.
