## About

IVN Natuureducatie has planted Tiny Forests, dense native woods about the size of a tennis court, with schools, municipalities and residents across the Netherlands for ten years. The trees in Zaandam grew about seven metres in five years. A neighbourhood or school can apply for one, and the DIY pages and checklist show how to plant a small one yourself, even in a garden.
