On 30 March 2023, the Liverpool Commonwealth Association collaborated with Belvedere Academy and the 7th Fairfield Scout Group to plant a tree at the school as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC).
As a nationwide initiative created to mark the Platinum Jubilee, the QGC created a living legacy with over a million trees planted in Her Majesty’s name across the nation. The initiative ended in March 2023, with the Liverpool Commonwealth Association’s tree planting one of the last to be officially included in the QGC.
The tree was donated by Woodland Trust and was planted by Deputy Lieutenant John Roberts in the presence of Liverpool’s Lord Mayor Councillor Roy Gladden, Principal Julie Taylor and 7th Fairfield Scout Group Scout Leader, Angela Pender.
