On February 3rd 2012 the Woodland Trust was privileged to have Her Majesty The Queen and Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal plant a native English oak at the Sandringham Diamond Jubilee Wood.
The tree is one of thousands to be planted at Sandringham, the much-loved country retreat of Her Majesty and home to four generations of British monarchs since 1862.
Her Majesty and The Princess Royal then spent a short time talking to children from the Flitcham, Sandringham and West Newton schools. 150 children spent the day planting over 500 trees in the beautiful grounds of the Sandringham Estate and were helped by some of our Trustees and guests.
We are absolutely delighted that Her Majesty and The Princess Royal have agreed to help start a year of Jubilee Woods tree planting.
The planting of the oak and the new 20 acre Diamond Jubilee Wood marks a special tribute as it was at Sandringham that King George VI passed away and the young princess took accession to the throne.
Plant a tree for the JubileeWhy not join Her Majesty and plant your own tree for the Diamond Jubilee? As part of the celebrations we'll create our own flagship Diamond Wood and are offering you the chance to plant a tree in the exclusive Woodland Trust Supporters' grove.
The new wood is set in the heart of The National Forest; planting here gives you a unique chance to play your part in creating a lasting legacy. It is also a beautiful gift to dedicate to someone close.
As part of your donation, you will receive a limited edition, numbered certificate with your own words of dedication in an exclusive souvenir gift pack.
