The Queen’s Green Canopy is an inclusive national initiative, meaning that everyone from across the United Kingdom can get involved. Whether you’re an individual hoping to plant a single sapling in your garden, a scout group planting a large tree or a City Council intending to plant a whole avenue of trees to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the below pages will provide the information you need to plan and deliver your project.
The planting of new trees across the United Kingdom may take the form of:
- Individuals planting trees on their private land.
- Corporates and businesses planting trees on their land and creating tree planting projects with employees.
- Platinum Jubilee Community Planting projects for youth groups, Parishes, Residents’ Associations.
- A Platinum Jubilee Avenue of medium-sized or large trees ideal for cities, large estates, new housing developments and parishes.
- A Platinum Jubilee Copse on private land or land allocated by the County or Council.
- A Platinum School Tree: on school grounds involving students and teachers.
