1. Plan
Learn about tree planting season, where to plant, and how to secure a tree.
Get involved
A number of companies are already taking part in the QGC initiative as official supporters, however all UK companies and businesses can get involved. Corporates and businesses are invited to either plant trees on their sites across the UK to benefit employees and the wider community, or support proposed community forest planting projects that have been earmarked by QGC partner, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Please see below our PLAN page for advice on the tree planting season (October to March), where to plant and how to secure a healthy tree which is right for your location. From October, you can photograph your Jubilee tree and upload it onto the QGC map.
You may also wish to order an official plaque to mark the occasion for generations to come. Templates for QGC plaques with suggested wording and recommended suppliers will be available on this site from September 2021 ready for when the tree planting season begins in October.

The QGC Map
During the tree planting season from October to March, you can add your tree to The Queen's Green Canopy map. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and the then Prince of Wales planted the first tree in the grounds of Windsor Castle in March 2021, to mark the launch of the QGC initiative.
