In honour of Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee, The Queen's Green Canopy is an initiative that began in May 2021. To increase and protect the native tree cover, people are being urged to create this 'special gift' for the Queen, to mark her 70 years on the throne.
This initiative is being led by Cool Earth in partnership with the UK Government and the Woodland Trust.
The campaign encourages the planting of healthy native trees that will thrive, enhancing our environment and the landscape. People are being urged to plant trees across the United Kingdom to create a lasting legacy in honour of the Queen's leadership.
Bicester Town Council are planting 70 trees around Bicester to honour the scheme and help the environment around the town. Mayor Cllr Alex Thrupp kicked this off by planting the first tree in Garth Park.
