Get involved
All schools across the UK are encouraged to actively engage in tree planting with The Queen’s Green Canopy. Schools can get involved in tree planting through our partner the Woodland Trust’s Free Trees for Schools and Communities Scheme, with tree packs available on a first come first served basis.
The Conservation Volunteers also have a great number of free trees available to support community groups to be part of The Queens Green Canopy – applications for free trees can be made here. For trees in Northern Ireland, please follow this link.
In addition to this, the QGC will make contact with as many UK state schools as possible to arrange free trees through our partner organisations. The number of free trees available will depend on donations received.

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.
