As part of the celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this year, a project was proposed in association with Groupement Forestier du Pays d’Enhaut (www.gfpe.ch) to plant some trees. This is in reflection of the official Queen’s Green Canopy project which is being promoted in the UK. Further information on the project can be found on the official internet page www.queensgreencanopy.org 

On 21 October, volunteers came together to dig, encourage and celebrate as three Oaks, an Eglantine and spindle bushes were planted at La Tine as part of the local initiative in sympathy with the late Queen’s jubilee planting initiative! A representative from the British Embassy attended and unveiled a plaque.

If you are interested in contributing to this project (and/or helping with the planting), please contact Camilla Leigh at [email protected]
