As announced by the Royal Household, Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales will mark the start of the official planting season for The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) at the Balmoral Estate on Friday, 1st October 2021.
The QGC is a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, which invites people across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.
Her Majesty and His Royal Highness, who is Patron of the QGC, will plant a copper beech tree at the Balmoral Estate’s historic cricket pavilion, joined by schoolchildren from nearby Crathie Primary School.
In addition to the start of the planting season, this engagement marks the unveiling of the QGC’s education programme.
