During the spring of 2022 Greening Chinnor volunteers planted over 370 hedging shrubs in the Orchard hedge running adjacent to the lane. The intention was to plant a native mixed species hedge to commemorate Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee and was part of the nationwide tree planting initiative ‘The Queen’s Green Canopy’.

The hedge is intended to have several beneficial purposes for the local environment and community:
- to provide a wildlife corridor along the length of the orchard
- be a food and nesting resource for wildlife
- give picking and foraging opportunities for the local community
- and finally, to look wonderful
