This morning saw the first of five thousand trees being planted at Oldfield Farm in Landbeach.

The trees are part of the Queen’s Green Canopy project to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The farm is part of the County Council’s rural estate, and is let to a local tenant farmer.

We were delighted to be joined by Cambridgeshire Deputy Lord Lieutenant Major Tim Breitmeyer DL, himself a local farmer. Local county councillor Anna Bradnam joined the tree planting event, as did officers from the council’s rural estates team.
