Spaces are still available for a mass tree-planting near Hucknall to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Residents are encouraged to sign up for the planting sessions at Bestwood Country Park this March before the last remaining slots are taken.

The planting comes as part of nationwide initiative the Queen's Green Canopy, and participants at the free event at Bestwood will get to plant at least one small tree each.

As well as celebrating the Platinum Jubilee, the sessions will also contribute to the 17,000 trees set to be planted as part of the Trees for Climate programme at the park.

"This is going to be a fantastic event at Bestwood Country Park - please get online, register for the morning session and then come along and plant a tree," said Cllr Mike Adams.

"I know places are going fast, and we have limited numbers, so don't delay. Places for the afternoon slot got snapped up very quickly.

"It is great we can celebrate Her Majesty's dedicated service over the last 70 years in this way, in addition to doing something that's really going to give a huge boost to our local environment.

"This particular session is going to be extra special as it will contribute to the Queen's Green Canopy - a UK-wide effort to plant trees to mark the Platinum Jubilee.

"It is also another important step in our Trees for Climate programme which will see thousands-upon-thousands of new trees spring up across Greenwood Community Forest over the next five years."
