Our first tiny forest planted in a rural area – the Tocal Tiny Forest aims to showcase the benefits of tiny forest for land restoration, biodiversity, used as a wind break and for preventing run-off.

This project includes a side-by-side planting of the Miyawaki method next to an area planted traditionally – highlighting the differences over time.

A range of biodiversity studies will be undertaken in partnership with Macquarie University at this site.

Planting of 1100 native species took place in September 2024 completed by Tocal College staff, students and the wider community.

This tiny forest project was led by The Groundswell Collective, funded by Carbon Positive Australia and supported by Hunter Urban Forests.
