Ashton club is supporting 'tree-bilee' initiative

Tuesday, 29 June 2021 13:23

The Waterloo and Taunton Conservative Club in Ashton is supporting 'The Queen's Green Canopy', a UK-wide tree planting initiative to mark Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee in 2022.

Two specimens have been donated to the club by committee member Bill Garside and have been planted around the crown green by the gardening team.

Prince Charles is encouraging people to ‘plant a tree for the jubilee’ or a ‘tree-bilee’. 

Taking part in the scheme, hosted by climate charity Cool Earth, could range from individuals planting trees in their own gardens to the creation of platinum jubilee copses on council land or avenues in cities or housing developments.

Pictured with the donated specimens is club chairman, Leon Tamcken.
