Medina College is the first school on the Island to have planted trees for the Queen’s Green Canopy.
With a focus on planting sustainability, the Queens Green Canopy is encouraging the planting of trees to create a legacy in honour of the Queen’s leadership of the nation, which will benefit future generations. The initiative has been launched to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
210 hedgerow trees have been planted along the border of Medina College’s farm plot (outside the geography block for former students!) with plans to plant even more in the New Year.
If anyone else would like to get involved in the Queen’s Green Canopy, more information can be found at https://queensgreencanopy.org/. Individuals, schools, community groups and businesses are all encouraged to take part.
99% will be destroyed. Either ate by rabbits, torn up by the towns youth, let to grow in by weeds, die of drought, die of drowing in too much water, ate by catipillars, killed from disease.
Built over, buried under junk but so long as the UK can ‘proclaim’ it is doing the right thing for co2 and global warming as we shiver in our ever colder homes, then the world is alright…………isn’t it?
Chill out Carol, it’s a tree.
The more trees the better most of us have heard of the tree of life
Agree rod but there is more life in ONE old established tree and far more carbon dioxide absorbed in such than in 400 twigs planted.
So, as the other poster says many new trees planted are just to make up amazing numbers to ‘show’ the UK is serious about meeting self imposed target figures.
YET if it were genuine, it would stop enmasse building where green fields and established trees are destroyed. We would limit the amount of people entering the UK all adding to building and energy use.
So, I to think it is just a publicity gimmick to annonce huge figures of trees planted but how many will reach maturity?
