Planting trees for the Jubilee

Following the death of her Majesty the Queen, the QGC, until the end of March 2023, creating a legacy in honour of The late Queen’s 70 years on the throne, and to benefit current and future generations.

The Lord-Lieutenant, Lt Col Patrick Holcroft CVO OBE, wishes to encourage everyone to continue taking part in this wonderful project and plant trees from 1 October 2022, when the tree planting season resumes. Any trees planted, from single trees, groups of fruit trees, to forests are most welcome!

The Lieutenancy and Worcestershire County Council (WCC) began work on this project at the end of 2019, and WCC has already nearly completed planting two sites at Bewdley and Pershore.
