You are standing in front of Jubilee Plantation. This very distinctive hill top feature was planted in the mid seventies to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II's reign and to reflect the locally famous Frankley Beeches

plantation on Frankley Hill.

Most of the trees in the centre of the wood are common Beech. The Beech can be a spectacular tree in its prime with a crown which might span 30 metres (32 yards) more and a trunk which could be as much as 4-5 metres (12 - 15 feet) in circumference.

There are few better things in the spring than standing in a beechwood and

looking up into a canopy of fresh green leaves. By May most leaves will have

opened fully. When a breeze catches them they seem to shiver and tremble.

Beech trees are not as good for wildlife as say a mature Oak might be but they

do produce large numbers of seeds or 'mast' each autumn. These seeds are of

vital importance, not only as the means by which the tree spreads its offspring but also as a food source to preying flocks of finches during the cold winter months.
