Flagship Wood for The Queen's Jubilee
The Woodland Trist is encouring people in the UK to come together and plant trees to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012.It is hoped around 6 million trees will be planted creating hundreds of new woods across the country, with a 'flagship wood' of some 460 acres to be located in Leicestershire at the heart of the National Forest.
Located at the heart of England, The National Forest is within easy access of 10 million people, making the new woodland perfect for the Woodland Trust’s ambition to create a natural historic monument for the nation, give people access to the wonders of woodland and enable wildlife to thrive.
The flagship Diamond Jubilee Wood will be the largest continuous block of woodland owned by a single organisation in The National Forest. The National Forest Company has made a substantial contribution of land towards the new woodland and a number of landowners have worked together with the Woodland Trust to enable this to happen.
Want to get involved?
- Communities are being encouraged to come together and plant thousands of free trees

- Individuals can make a donation towards the creation of these celebratory woodlands.
