Liverpool Women’s Hospital has joined thousands of other organisations in planting three new trees in the hospital grounds which will form part of the Queens Green Canopy.
Three trees have been planted in the Liverpool Women’s Hospital grounds near to the main entrance as part of the Queens Green Canopy, a unique tree planting initiative to create a legacy in honour of the Queens Jubilee, which will help to benefit our future generations.
The Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside Mark Blundell attended the hospital with John and Mary Roberts to plant the trees.
Gary Price, Chief Operating Officer said, “Liverpool Women’s are delighted to be marking Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee year by supporting this initiative, a big thanks to our staff who supported the Lord Lieutenant in the planting.”
The trees that have been planted include one Acer Plat Princeton Gold, which will take 20-50 years to reach its ultimate height of higher than 12 meters and two Morus Nigra which will produce beautiful dark fruits in the summer months for patients, visitors, and staff to enjoy.
Members of the hospitals clinical and corporate teams also attended to support the planting of the trees.
The planting of the trees also forms part of the hospitals Green Plan, a plan that highlights the ways the hospital is working towards becoming a greener place.
The hospitals green plan details the contribution they can make towards the ambition set out in the NHS Greener Programme to significantly reduce carbon emissions by 2040 for the emissions it controls directly, and 2045 for those it can influence. Download the Green Plan here.
