Members of Maidenhead Rotary Club recently planted a dozen traditional English tree saplings to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee.
A five-strong team planted the saplings, six oaks and six hornbeams, along a footpath near BCA in Burchetts Green where in time they will grow to shelter a small wildflower meadow.
The planting was organised by Rotarian Graham Brunsden and facilitated by ground staff at BCA. Helping him were Mary Spinks, Pat Moore, Amel Alariqi and club president Martin Trepte.

 | Last year Rotary added protecting the environment as its seventh area of focus alongside promoting peace; fighting disease; providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene; saving mothers and children; supporting education; and growing local economies. President Martin said: “With Rotary’s new focus on the environment, planting traditional English trees was the perfect way to mark the platinum jubilee year. And planting saplings to benefit future generations is a perfect illustration of the Rotary ethos of service above self.” |
