TEACHERS and youngsters at a York toddler group have joined in the celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee by planting trees donated by the Woodland Trust.

The Ladybirds Kinder Class, which is based at St Andrew’s Church hall in Huntington Road, was invited by the trust to be involved in the efforts to make a Jubilee Woods to help commemorate the landmark year.

The planting of trees is part of a national scheme to get six million trees planted in honour of the diamond celebrations. Members of staff helped the children to plant the trees in their recently developed wooded area.
