In May 2021, to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, Elizabeth II launched an initiative to plant more trees, which she named the Queen's Green Canopy. Throughout her long life, tree planting was an important part of her many royal duties, and it was an activity she felt particularly enthusiastic about.
Sadly, she was unable to see the incredible impact of the project due to her passing in 2022. So far, it has overseen the planting of more than three million trees, it's helped to deliver over 30 urban planting projects in areas of social and environmental need, and has helped train over 70 young people in the green sector - achievements the Queen would have taken great pride in.
