Bill Banks, Kingdom Group chief executive, said: “At Kingdom we’re proud to take part in the Queen’s Green Canopy project. We chose oak trees for their royal connection but also because of the incredible variety of wildlife they support as they grow.

"The trees are accompanied by commemorative plaques set in stone plinths and will be a reminder for future generations of how the nation has come together to tackle climate change.”
