You know that feeling when it's a super hot day. You're in a built up environment surrounded by hard surfaces such as roads, car parks and buildings jam-packed together. The radiating heat is overwhelming.
Now, imagine a place where native trees, plants and creatures flourish. You feel and see the wind and stay cool in the dappled shade. It's a pocket of nature that's right in the heart of your urban space where it's needed the most. This is a tiny forest.
