Queen’s Green Canopy in Sussex

Article by: 18/02/2026

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.”

East and West Sussex are both supporting and encouraging the campaign.

In West Sussex, there have been pledges of over 200,000 trees which are being planted in the name of the QGC, with a number of planting ceremonies having already taken place.

Similarly in East Sussex the QGC committee initiated their planting campaign with a ceremony at Eridge Park where the Marquess of Abergavenny and the Lord Lieutenant planted trees.  For information on what’s happening across East Sussex and guidance on tree planning for the Jubilee visit please go to Action in Rural Sussex website.
