The Queen's Green Canopy

A living legacy of over three million trees planted across the United Kingdom in honour of the late Queen Elizabeth. The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) was a unique nationwide tree planting initiative created to mark Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. Across the United Kingdom, people from all walks of life were invited to “Plant a tree for the Jubilee” to create a legacy in honour of Her late Majesty’s leadership of the nation, to benefit future generations. Following Queen Elizabeth’s passing, at the wish of the QGC Patron, His Majesty The King, the initiative was extended to March 2023 to give people an opportunity to plant trees in memoriam. Over the course of two tree planting seasons, the QGC created a living legacy of over three million trees planted across the nation as a lasting tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s extraordinary service to her country and her people.
