“The Queen's unwavering dedication to the nation has been an inspiration to us all, so I am delighted that our organisation has led the way forward to plant trees to mark her Platinum Jubilee and support The Queen's Green Canopy initiative on behalf of the people of Leicester. Planting a tree is a simple but enduring act that will provide habitat for wildlife and be enjoyed for years to come.

I hope our initiative will encourage many more community groups, organisations, and Leicester residents to also plant a tree for the Jubilee, which will benefit current and future generations”.
