Queens Green Canopy Project – planting commences

12th February 2022

The planting of the trees went well. Thirty larger trees from West Berkshire Council for the Queen’s Green Canopy Project were planted by 17 willing volunteer villagers. One was Mike, a splendid Sheepdrove worker who transported trees, compost stakes etc to the site and stayed all morning working hard. The weather was dry with a bitter wind but then the rain on Sunday has watered them in nicely!

A big thank you to all who took part and to all the supporters of this great ‘green’ community project. A special thank you goes to Paul Hendry from West Berks Council and Howard Woollaston for his help with the negotiations for the trees. This project was made possible by kind permission and support of the Kindersley Family, Sheepdrove.
