Wee Forest - Douglas DD4 8XZ

Nature on your doorstep. Tiny, highly compact native woodland areas for education, biodiversity and well-being. Take part in citizen science, come to an arts workshop, help us pull out some weeds, or just sit and watch the butterflies. There might even be a few mushrooms lurking about.

There are currently 4 separate Wee Forests in Dundee.
