About The Queen’s Green Canopy
The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) is a unique environmental initiative created to mark Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. With a focus on planting sustainably, the initiative encourages individuals, community groups, businesses and others to play their part by planting trees to enhance our environment now, and for generations to come, as a lasting tribute to Her Majesty’s extraordinary service to her country and her people.
The Queen’s Green Canopy is proud to be creating a living legacy with over a million trees planted in Her Majesty’s name across the nation during the first planting season, October 2021 to March 2022. The extension of the initiative to include another tree planting season, beginning in October 2022 and concluding in March 2023, will build on this legacy and give people the opportunity to plant trees in memoriam to honour Her Majesty.
