In honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Barratt London has planted 982 trees across its developments in the Capital, including at its Ridgeway Views development in Mill Hill. The trees were planted as part of The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) which aims to benefit future generations by enhancing and protecting our environment.
The QGC is a tree planting project to commemorate Her Majesty’s 70 years of service. The campaign was kickstarted by the Queen and The Prince of Wales over a year ago in March 2021, when the first Jubilee tree was planted in the grounds of Windsor Castle. Since then, a range of individuals and community groups have all been encouraged to “Plant a tree for the Jubilee” which can then be logged on the QGC online map where it is publicly available to view.
To commemorate its involvement in the QGC, Barratt London has placed a plaque next to a newly planted tree at each development, highlighting to passersby the significance of the tree and its link back to the wider campaign.
Pam Reardon, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt East London, commented: “As well as celebrating HRH and her incredible 70 years on the throne, this campaign is a way for us at Barratt London to highlight our commitment to sustainability. In addition to this campaign, we have also pledged to become the first housebuilder to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, to building net zero carbon homes by 2030, and to purchasing 100% of our operational energy from renewal sources.”
