Kash and friends joined Earthwatch in planting their third Ealing Tiny Forest this year - the Hanger Hill Park Tiny Forest! It will become the closest Tiny Forest to Ealing Broadway (a group run task material?). Despite the overcast and a light drizzle, the team was full of energy and did so well that the last 200 trees to plant had to be hidden behind Earthwatch's van to save some planting fun for the 1 pm session. The group then switched to mulching, which was quite straightforward, with the tonne bags with mulch placed strategically inside the planting area.

After the fantastic effort, the Earthwatch team treated the volunteers to tea and biscuits. Kash's team then took a break before the 1 pm planting shift, having a stroll around North Ealing, possibly finding a cosy local pub on the way.

Tiny Forest Hanger Hill Park
SUPER TINY, SUPER POWERFUL... AND MORE THAN JUST TREES

Tiny Forest is a dense fast-growing native woodland of 600 trees planted densely in a tennis-court size plot, maximising benefits per m2 of land. The proponents, Earthwatch, engage with local communities to plant, maintain and monitor their forest over time. The forests reconnect people with nature and raise awareness of climate change.
