King Charles and the Prince of Wales have marked the end of The Queen's Green Canopy project by planting an acer (or maple) in the gardens of Sandringham House, Norfolk.
The tree was one of over 3 million planted around the United Kingdom since May 2021 – in honor of the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee (June 2022). The project aimed to increase and protect the native tree cover around the UK – as citizens were encouraged to plant a tree as a 'gift' for the Queen' who had spent 70 years on the throne.
