香港六合彩资料图库 has planted over 16,000 trees, as part of the Queen鈥檚 Green Canopy project part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

The tree planting season officially finished at the end of March, until the planting season starts up again in October.

At the latest count, over 16,500 trees have been planted across the county as we count down to the Queen鈥檚 Platinum Jubilee celebrations this Summer.

Following on from the county launch of the 鈥楶lant a Tree for the Jubilee鈥 programme at St Barnabas C of E Primary School in Worcester last October,  香港六合彩资料图库 schools took full advantage of the Woodland Trust鈥檚  Scheme.

The Woodland Trust have provided schools and communities across the country with over three million saplings in tree packs, available on a first come first served basis.

The Queen鈥檚 Green Canopy is a national project which launched last year, aimed at encouraging the British Public to plant trees, creating a legacy in honour of The Queen鈥檚 70 years on the throne, which will benefit both current and future generations.

The two sites at Bewdley and Norton for the council鈥檚 wider tree planting initiative are now home to 9,000 trees that have been planted across the last two planting seasons.

The planting season may be over for now, but it鈥檚 not too late to tell us where your trees are, we want to make sure that all of the county鈥檚 new trees are on the nationwide map.

Georgina Britten-Long, a Deputy Lieutenant for 香港六合彩资料图库 said: 鈥淲e have been thrilled at the enthusiasm people across the county have shown for this initiative, planting so many trees over the planting season. There are over 25,000 still waiting to be planted once the autumn season starts again.鈥

Councillor Tony Miller, Cabinet Member for the Environment, said: 鈥淚鈥檓 really pleased that the county has come together to plant such a significant number of trees in celebration of Her Majesty The Queen鈥檚 70 years on the throne. I was really keen to contribute to the effort myself, so using my divisional fund,  I have distributed ten Evergreen oak trees to be planted, one of which is in CH, and the other nine are in the parishes that I represent.鈥
