Woodland Trust officially recognises North East Lincolnshire for Diamond Jubilee woodland creation
THE area has been officially recognised by the Woodland Trust for its part in creating more than 60 acres of new woodland to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
A framed certificate has been unveiled at North East Lincolnshire Council’s Municipal Offices building to mark the council’s Diamond Status – awarded to only 60 other areas in the country that have set aside more than 60 acres of land for new woodland. In total, five woodlands are being created in the area, as reported. To date, planting has taken place at four woodlands: Spring Street and Coomb Briggs in Immingham; The Saltings in Grimsby and Cleethorpes Country Park.
