Poem Forest is a free nature poetry prize created by Red Room Poetry in collaboration with the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan NSW. The purpose of this competition is to plant a native tree in the garden and restore the critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland in Western Sydney. Poem Forest aims to plant over 22000 trees over three years by planting three grand tree species: Forest Red gum, Grey box and Narrow-leaved Ironbark.
