A group of seven children stand outdoors in a Tiny Forest, each holding up a small plant or mud sculpture. They are dressed in casual, colourful clothing and rain boots, with greenery and a wooden fence in the background. The scene conveys a sense of playful exploration and outdoor activity.

A dark green background features a quote in white and lime green text: "We're thrilled to see how schools across the UK are using our Tiny Forests as outdoor classrooms. From going on bug hunts to measuring trees, getting their hands muddy when testing for soil health...
and did I mention playing music to the trees and shadow drawing? There are so many activities that give children a chance to connect with nature, to become citizen scientists, and for teachers to take the curriculum outdoors into these living laboratories." The author is Divya Kumar, Community Engagement Manager at Earthwatch Europe.
🌳🐞This #OutdoorClassroomDay, we'd like to say a huge thank you to all the schools across the UK who have engaged in our Nature In Cities programmes.
