As part of the Diamond Jubilee 2012 celebrations there will be a tree planting event in partnership with The Woodland Trust at Jubilee Park, Glynn this Friday (Good Friday) 6th April 2012 from 9.00am to 5.00pm.
The trees will form a woodland copse of species native to Northern Ireland. Staff will be on hand during the day and you are welcome to attend at any time. Entrance is via Church Lane and over the new bridge and trees will be provided on the day.
Jubilee Park opened in June 1977 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee. In the summer of 2008 work began on the refurbishment of Jubilee Park and this was reopened in early September 2008, coinciding with the beginning of the new school term.
I am looking forward to supporting this event, which forms part of a wider programme of celebrations within Larne Borough, the UK and the Commonwealth. It will also form part of a UK-wide initiative of tree planting which not only helps the environment, but will remain for generations as a lasting tribute to a lifetime of service and loyalty shown by HM Queen Elizabeth II.
Se you on Friday, and remember your outdoor shoes or wellies!
