 Will you plant a tree for the Jubilee?
We are supporting the Queen's Green Canopy, a UK-wide tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, by inviting residents, community groups, schools, clubs and local businesses to plant a tree in Elmbridge.
Get involved from October, when the planting season begins, and let us know your plans. This will be a great opportunity to protect and enhance the environment in our borough for generations to come.
