Queen Elizabeth II Oak – Cordon Installed

On Friday, our fantastic volunteers installed a cordon around the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Oak, in addition to their usual conservation work.

We had an effective strength-training workout as we took turns driving five wooden posts into position around the tree.

Once the posts were in place, we strung a rope between them to signify the tree’s special status. An explanatory plaque will be added to complete the installation.

After finishing the cordon, we moved on to remove nearby young holly trees and sycamore seedlings.

We are looking forward to our next nature conservation workday on Friday, 16th May. Please join us if you can!
