Jubilee Wood Tree Plantinig – Sunday 26th February.

| Members of the Order of Druids and Portsmouth Tree Wardens |
The Woodland Trust Jubilee wood initiative aims to plant 6 million trees
during 2012 and with a target of 1 million to be planted during February to
celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. As part of this initiative the Genesis Order of
Druids arranged a tree planting ceremony at Hilsea Lines. Joined by the
Portsmouth Tree Wardens, they planted over 200 native trees, including Oak,
Birch, Rowan, Hazel, Blackthorn, Ash, Holly and Hawthorn with one sapling a
‘Royal Oak’ which has come from one of the royal estates.
The trees were planted east of London Rd where it is hopped, that in
years to come, they will screen out the M27 and make the Lines that little bit
more pieceful for visitors.
Preceding the tree planting the Genesis Order of Druids conducted a small
druid ceremony to ask for blessings to the land and trees and celebrate the
coming of spring and new life and new beginnings. As part of this ceremony a number
of the trees were dedicated to friends and family who had passed over and to
recent additions to the family.
The Genesis Order
of Druids has a presence on facebook and twitter as well as online through our
website www.genesisorder.com they
are a druid network affiliate group.
