West Lothian has been gifted two beautiful trees as a message of “hope, regeneration and optimism” as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.
Almond Valley Heritage Trust and Friends of Almondell and Calderwood Country Park are delighted to have each received a special tree from The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) Tree of Trees project.
The two West Lothian groups joined over 300 organisations from across the UK who were recently announced by the QGC as recipients of these special trees in The Queen’s name, which are gifted in a pot embossed with Her Majesty’s cypher.
Presented by Ms Moira Niven MBE, Lord-Lieutenant for West Lothian, the trees were planted at Almondell and Calderwood Country Park on Friday 28 October and at Almond Valley Heritage Centre.
The trees become part of the living legacy in honour of Her Majesty, joining over a million trees already planted across the UK as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy.
The local organisations are thrilled to be chosen for their contribution to the West Lothian community.
Almond Valley Heritage Trust Chair, Wayne Simpson said: “Our little Rowan tree will greet visitors when they first arrive at Almond Valley and its berries will feed hungry birds in the winter. Her Majesty opened Mill Farm in 1987 and it seems very fitting that we fondly remember her in this way.”
Chair of the Friends of Almondell, Stuart Appleyard said: “I am amazed and honoured that the work of a small group of volunteers has been nationally recognised in this way. It is something that we and our community of visitors can enjoy and be proud custodians of this special tree and the hope it symbolises.”
