Jubilee Tree Planting

On Jubilee Day, Tuesday 5th June 2012, over 60 people attended the planting of 2 final trees in what is to be known as Jubilee Walk (formerly King George VI Avenue). The new Walk is situated in the entrance to Walsall Arboretum off The Crescent and Sutton Road.

60 sweet chestnut trees have been planted in total to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

The "topping off" ceremony, organised by Walsall Tree Wardens, was sponsored by The Rotary Club of Walsall. The final 2 trees were planted by Rotary President Roy Quinton.

Refreshments (including Jubilee themed cakes) were supplied by the Inner Wheel Club of Walsall led by its President Barbara Cattell.
