The Queen’s Green Canopy “Plant a Tree For The Jubilee” Project
by Weatherbys
On 10th May 2022, Ascot Racecourse and the Crown Estate welcomed 70 local schools to Windsor Great Park to be involved in a ceremony which saw 70 new oak trees planted as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy “Plant a tree for the Jubilee” project. The trees have been planted adjacent to the Royal Procession route from Windsor Castle to Ascot Racecourse, along Duke’s Lane, and are intertwined with existing, mature oak trees, some of which date back to 1751.
Each school was represented by a pupil and a commemorative photograph with them holding their school’s crest was taken before a group photo and then a reception at the racecourse.
Nick Smith, Director of Racing and Public Affairs at Ascot Racecourse, said:
“We were thrilled to welcome all 70 schools to the ceremony in celebration of this project which will have a positive long-lasting impact on the Great Park and also act as a lasting reminder for generations to come of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.” Timothy Griffith, Headteacher, Ranelagh School, said:
“Ranelagh School is delighted and honoured to be one of the schools lucky enough to be chosen to have a tree dedicated to us as part of the 70 new oak trees in Windsor Great Park. “At the heart of our school’s culture is our commitment to being a dynamic learning community that is rooted in Christianity. As such, I cannot think of a more appropriate project for us to be involved in. On behalf of Ranelagh School, may I take this opportunity to congratulate Her Majesty The Queen on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee.”
