Taylor Wimpey Exeter recently helped pupils at St Martin’s Primary School in Cranbrook plant 10 new trees to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
The donation from Taylor Wimpey was to support the school’s involvement in The Queen’s Green Canopy campaign, a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee this year which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.
Pupils worked together to plant the trees with the help of a Taylor Wimpey Sales Executive from the Cranbrook development.
As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the local community, Taylor Wimpey Exeter has donated a further £750 towards parkrun events at Cranbrook Country Park.

The initiative originally began as a two kilometre running event for children in the local area, but due to its popularity within the community, Matt has now also launched a five kilometre parkrun for adults.
