A “Tiny forest” of about 600 new trees will be planted in Leicestershire as part of a scheme.
Organisers say the “Tiny forest” will be a vital part of a new eco-park on the recreation ground.
It will also form part of the county council’s wider initiative to plant 700,000 new trees in Leicestershire.
Leicestershire County Council - which is working with North West Leicestershire District Council and Earthwatch UK - added the eco-park would also include natural footpaths and activity areas for families.
Councillor Blake Pain, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for the environment and the green agenda, said: "The creation of this new tiny forest on the Hermitage recreation ground will be the first in Leicestershire and will be a wonderful addition to the area."It will provide the local community with a green space for walking and exercising, as well as supporting wildlife and biodiversity, improving air quality, and helping to make Leicestershire a cleaner and greener place to live and work.
