St John’s Church in Hythe would like to thank everyone who picked up a knitting pattern and spent time knitting angels for them last year. A staggering 1000 angels were lovingly cra ed and donated to the church for them to hand out in the local area, along with an invitation to their Christmas services. Sue Blomley (the Angel Lady) comments: “Thank you everyone who made angels for us last year. Whether you made 6 or 160 they all count. We couldn’t have done it without your help, each and every one of you. I can only say thank you, thank you, thank you. There is one person I’d like to thank by name and she is Joyce Thick, she is almost 102 years old and knits angels (and sews up those that I knit too) she is an example to us all!” e church will be continuing this lovely tradition again this year. Patterns are available from e Herald o ce if you would like to join in with the knitting volunteers. Trees Planted for the Queen’s Green Canopy with Local School Children School children from Black eld Primary School recently joined tree o cers from New Forest District Council to plant 304 young trees at Fawley Fields. e group of children planted native oak and beech trees. ey also learnt how planting trees bene ts the environment, and helped to plant bulbs which are expected to ower this Spring. The site at Fawley Fields provides a wonderful space for the community and a special tribute to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and I hope our residents will enjoy it.” Tariq Sasso, Principal of Black eld Primary School, spoke to the council: “The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves planting the trees for the Queen’s Green Canopy. They know how important it is to look after our environment and I know they found it special to build something that would help remember The Queen. They are going to share what they’ve done with the rest of the school during an assembly and will be planting some trees on our school field too, as they have been so inspired.” e tree planting will be recorded as part of e Queen’s Green Canopy project, and added to a virtual map on their website: queensgreencanopy.org Further enhancements are scheduled for Fawley Fields, a er New Forest District Council identi ed it as an area which could be developed to promote biodiversity and the local environment. ey are preparing wild ower areas at the site, where a mixture of native annual and perennial seeds will be planted in the Spring. e trees were planted as a part of e Queen’s Green Canopy. e national tree planting initiative was created to celebrate Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee and has since been extended from December 2022 to March 2023 to serve as a lasting tribute to her legacy. Cllr David Russell, portfolio holder for people and places, said: “Enhancing and improving our green spaces across the district remains a key priority for us as we work to tackle climate change and protect nature. On behalf of the council, I would like to say a big thank you to the school children and staff for their enthusiasm and for being a part of this project. Pupils from Blackfield Primary School
