Jubilee Trees

Growing Native British Trees to Celebrate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee, 2002

The Jubilee Tree campaign 

The Jubilee Tree campaign emphasizes:

• Maximum participation by local communities, families, schools, people of all ages, both urban and rural. 
• Use of the specially designed royal logo combining the Jubilee with the tree planting. 
• The sale at special prices of commemorative Jubilee plaques which display the logo with the names of the tree and shrubs.
• The possibility of participation by Commonwealth countries with Jubilee Tree campaigns in their own countries with their own indigenous flora. 
• To encourage the planting of native species instead of planting commemorative exotic trees during the Jubilee - perhaps even a small or large copse to be known as the Jubilee Copse, Jubilee Wood etc.
• Animal welfare
• Biodiversity. Helping biodiversity with replanting schemes for schools, mining sites, forests, roads, hedgerows and around factories. 
• Landscape and regional identity with emphasis on continuity and tradition. 
• Planting seeds and plants of native species and, where possible, local provenance. 
• Providing guidance for farmers to receive grants for both trees and tree guards from local councils and the Countryside Commission. 
• Providing information on seed collection, propagation and growing hints
• Creating greater awareness, especially in schools, of the value of native trees
• Creating potential and existing Local Nature Reserves with indigenous trees. 
• Working with co-ordinating bodies of Parish Councils all the way up to County Councils.
