As part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Shildon Town Council will be  marking the occasion with a tree planted as part of  ‘The Queen’s Green Canopy Project’.

Shildon Town Council decided they wished to represent the strength and resilience of our Queen and have chosen a  British native Green Oak tree, which is very long lived, strong and supports a huge array of life and is our most iconic trees.

Shildon Town Mayor, Councillor  Louise Mather planted the young Green Oak (Quercus robur) Tree today Friday 11^th March  at 11.00 am,  to mark the Queens’ accession. The tree will now  be added to the interactive map which will identify all trees planted under the Queens Canopy project,  which  marks The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.  The day chosen is the seventieth day of the year in which The Queen marks the seventieth anniversary of her accession.
