A major new woodland will be planted to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee next year, the UK's Woodland Trust announced this week.
The 460-acre wood - bigger than Kew Gardens or Regent's Park - will be located in the National Forest in Leicestershire, and will be publicly accessible.
Its creation will be the most prominent part of the Trust's biggest tree-planting campaign ever: Jubilee Woods, which will commemorate the anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne in 1952 by planting six million trees, to create hundreds of new woods across the UK.
These will include Jubilee Woods of up to 20 acres and 60 Diamond Woods of more than 60 acres across the UK.
The Trust has launched a £3.3m fundraising appeal to acquire the site for the 460-acre project.
