Report written by Paul Salman
Bulwell Park , Tiny Forest in Nottingham was my last visit on the Tiny tour. Access is easy with an unrestricted car park, facing a large open space with outdoor equipment, table tennis tables, an open playground and of course a Tiny Forest! I brought all the equipment over and met with Grace, who had come from Bristol for Earth Watch, as we chatted Leah another Goodgym Member came along to help out. Later a mother and two girls came along and got involved with some carbon capture measurements and ground dweller observations. The forest itself was rather sadly neglected, and had recently been weeded by the local council. The trees looked stunted, and the centre of the forest looked thin. I imagine the young saplings were badly affected by the drought, but they are still there, and will hopefully recover well. I finished with a litter pick between the Tiny Forest and the playground. Then looked to start my long journey home.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff of Earth Watch, who have joined and supported me on this Tiny tour. Your work is incredibly worthwhile. Please keep it up. I know many of us will look to support you with your activities and future projects.

Thank you for coming, Paul! I’ll try to get something sorted to help out here again with a bigger group 👍
