WHAT IS THE QUEEN’S
GREEN CANOPY?
The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) is
a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum
Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant
a Tree for the Jubilee” and Houston Primary is taking part.
Everyone from individuals to Scout and Girlguiding groups, villages,
cities, counties, schools and corporates will be encouraged to play their part
to enhance our environment by planting trees during the official planting
season between October to March. Tree planting will commence again in October
2022, through to the end of the Jubilee year.
With a focus on planting sustainably, the QGC will encourage planting of
trees to create a legacy in honour of The Queen’s leadership of the Nation,
which will benefit future generations.
As well as inviting the planting of new trees, The Queen’s Green
Canopy will dedicate a network of 70 Ancient Woodlands across the
United Kingdom and identify 70 Ancient Trees to celebrate Her Majesty’s 70
years of service.
