Examples of Green Infrastructure: tiny forest

A tiny forest is a dense forest with native trees and about the size of a tennis court. This forest is not only a pleasant place for butterflies, birds, bees and small mammals, but also for people. Children learn about Dutch nature in the outdoor classroom and local residents meet each other in a pleasant and healthy place. A tiny forest also provides cooling on hot days, more biodiversity and water storage during heavy rainfall. This video shows an example tiny forest at an elementary school in Enschede.
