Graham Stuart, Member of Parliament for Beverley and Holderness, planted a tree today at Beverley St Nicholas Primary School as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy.
The Queen’s Green Canopy is a new Government initiative which launches today with a commitment to provide almost half a million pounds to plant trees in communities across the country in honour of the late Her Majesty the Queen. This funding will enable thousands of trees to be planted across the country, therefore giving communities the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature and green spaces.
Graham was pleased to plant his tree today at Beverley St Nicholas Primary School with help from their School Eco-Minister, Angel, and their Prime Minister, William. This tree will provide a lasting tribute to Her Majesty’s many years of service for both current and future pupils at the school to enjoy.
Speaking about this initiative, Graham said: “I was honoured to plant my tribute to the late Her Majesty the Queen alongside the brilliant pupils from Beverley St Nicholas Primary School. It is a great way to commemorate Her Majesty’s tireless work on behalf of our country and I look forward to seeing lots of lovely new greenery.”
Forestry Minister Trudy Harrison said: “The Queen’s Green Canopy is a fitting tribute to the late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Trees are at the heart of our communities and today’s funding will ensure that thousands more trees are planted across the country in her honour.”
