By swapping grass with a range of plants and trees, these multi-layered forests create 30 times more green surface area than grass alone.

Tiny Forests can still thrive in busy, polluted, built-up areas where they can offer many benefits including:

  • Provide shade and cool the air
  • Help maintain clean air and water
  • Provide habitat for animals and insects
  • Restore local biodiversity
  • Create a buffer to reduce noise
  • Absorb carbon dioxide to reduce the impact of global warming
  • Becoming a self-sustaining system with less maintenance.

They are just one part of Council’s Urban Greening Program to create a more liveable future.
