Commemorative Plaques

Commemorating your contribution to The Queen’s Green Canopy is a wonderful way to celebrate the planting of Jubilee trees which will mark the occasion for generations to come.

The QGC is offering a physical, as well as a virtual commemorative plaque option, in keeping with an environmental initiative. Whether you choose to install a physical plaque or unveil a virtual one, we would encourage everyone who has planted trees to upload their Jubilee trees to the QGC MAP and become part of the digital legacy of green canopy projects to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.

Physical Plaques

While there are no specific criteria to determine the installation of a physical plaque, the QGC would encourage people to consider a physical plaque option for large scale planting projects.

The QGC has worked with suppliers across the United Kingdom to develop plaques which are of a standard design and are available in a range of sizes and prices (links below). Please note QGC plaques should be freestanding and NOT be fixed to trees or tree guards. Permission from local authorities may be required prior to installation in public places.

Virtual Plaques

Individuals who are planting single saplings in private gardens may wish to consider the virtual plaque option, which is available through the interactive QGC Map.

From the 1st of October, members of the public will be able to pin their Jubilee trees to the QGC Map.

Once a pin has been added, users will receive a digital plaque which can be shared online to recognise the planting and inspire others to get involved.

Guidelines

• • Due to the size and scope of the QGC, the plaques are of standard design and cannot be altered.
  • The addition of personal messages, or logos to feature alongside a QGC plaque, is not permitted.
  • QGC plaques should be freestanding and therefore should not be fixed to trees or tree guards.
  • Permission from local authorities may be required prior to installation in public places.
