Released On 9th Mar 2022
Tracey Neal, Joint Head of Agriculture & Rural Property, at Battens Solicitors has been busy planting trees as part of the Queen's Green Canopy Project on her land in North Dorset.
60 new trees have been planted including Oak, Beech, Chestnut, Field Maple, Alder, Walnut and a mix of 120 hedging plants such as Hawthorne, Blackthorne and Dog Rose.
The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) is a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”. www.queensgreencanopy.org
Tracy is delighted to be part in a national scheme which will benefit the local environment for generations to come;
“Having been bought up on a farm in New Zealand rural matters, and in particular the environment, has always been important to me. As a custodian of the land, I want to ensure that I do all I can to help preserve the flora and fauna. Taking part in the Queen’s Green Canopy project in the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year is really exciting. These trees will be mapped and I hope that planting them will leave a legacy for many generations to come”.
