About the Tiny Forest
The Tiny Forest will be planted on a tennis-court-sized piece of land on Cambridgelaan which is currently covered in gravel and cement. Aside from serving as a home for local wildlife, the area has also been designed to be a great spot for you to relax with your friends, have outdoor lectures or simply take some time to breathe and bask in the presence of nature. For more information, see the Tiny Forest page on the Green Office website.
