Tree funding and the Queens Platinum Jubilee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to the support from a number of Parish and Town Councils Milton Keynes Council has secured funding from the Forestry Commission\u2019s Local Authorities Treescape Fund to plant 400 trees in Milton Keynes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The funding supports the Queen\u2019s Green Canopy, a tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty\u2019s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to \u201cPlant a Tree for the Jubilee\u201d \u2013 The web site\u00a0 contains lots of detail on how and where to plant trees and allows you to mark the tree on a canopy map of the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will be sourcing trees in three broad categories, small, medium, and large and can provide up to ten trees per Parish \/ Town Council. We cannot be specific regarding the exact species as stock and availability are subject to high demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with the trees we will provide tree stakes, ties, and water bags to help the trees to establish. Hopefully a tree can be paired with a local resident or residents who can fill the watering bags, further guidance will be provided.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trees should be planted on public open space, either MKC or the Parish \/ Town Council land, the location of the planted trees will need to be supplied as it is a condition of the funding. To ensure the trees can reach their full potential they should be planted away from buildings, roads, lamp columns and other utilities.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our local Councillor has been sent a request with reference to planting a tree (or trees) as outlined below.
