Wimborne mayor Carol Butter was joined by Michael Tomlinson, MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, to plant the sixth tree of a series of 12 that are planned.

The Wimborne Tree Trail is a part of the ‘Queen’s Canopy’ initiative celebrating our late Queen’s jubilee and aims to provide an interesting series of unusual trees around the town provided by Wimborne Minster Town Council, that will make for an entertaining walk and cycle trip for visitors and residents.
Wimborne’s Waitrose offered to allow two trees to be planted in their grounds and this planting of a Ginkgo Biloba will contribute to the increased tree cover planned for the area.

Mr Tomlinson said he was honoured to attend.
He added: “As part of Her Late Majesty’s jubilee, it is so fitting and I was delighted to be there supporting Wimborne Town Council in this excellent project.
“It is a fitting and lasting celebration and memorial.
“As the last Vice Chamberlain to Her Majesty I was particularly honoured to have been asked by the Mayor of Wimborne to plant the tree with her, a fitting and lasting commemoration.”
