Her late Majesty served us steadfastly for 70 years. It would therefore be particularly appropriate to create a lasting, permanent Rutland Living Memorial to Her Majesty. By planting 40,000 British grown trees – one for each person living in Rutland – from October, when the tree planting season begins, through to the end of the Jubilee celebrations in 2023. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a community, to reduce our impact on climate change, and protect and enhance our county for generations to come.
