2022 marks the Platinum Jubilee of our monarch Queen Elizabeth II. As part of this amazing milestone, an initiative called The Queen's Green Canopy was formed. As well as encouraging everyone to plant more trees across the country, a dedicated network of 70 ancient woodlands will be set up, and 70 of the oldest trees in the country will be identified to mark Her Majesty's 70 years of service to her country.

This will provide more sustainable countryside for future generations. Wirral Borough Council is planting thousands of trees across the borough from October 2021 to March 2022 and more will be planted in the coming dormant season from late October 2022. The Council already aims to double its number of trees by 2030.
Our Friends Group took part in tree planting for the Queen's Green Canopy on Saturday 26th March. Nicola Wallbank (Council landscaper) provided us with between 250/260 native tree whips, which were planted on the Oxton Fields. Councillor Allan Brame also came to help with the planting.
