“Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”
As part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, there is a UK
wide tree planting initiative inviting people to take part to increase
the amount of trees across the country. Further information can be
found at www.queensgreencanopy.org
DACORUM BOROUGH COUNCIL QUEEN’S JUBILEE 5
We will be part of this initiative,
which will focus on three main
aspects:
1 Continuing the success of planting trees across
the Borough
2 Providing information about how others can
get involved, using their own land to plant
trees
3 Developing and expanding the current tree
sponsorship scheme to help cover future
maintenance costs

2 How to get involved
The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) initiative
recognises that Councils have a valuable
role to play in championing the QGC in their
area. Information about how people can
get involved in the QGC can be found at
www.queensgreencanopy.org which gives
information for communities, individuals and
organisations.
The Woodland Trust has also launched a
webpage detailing how people can get
involved, giving details of how to get trees,
where to plant them and how to be part of the
bigger scheme.
www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/plant-trees/
schools-and-communities/queens-green-
canopy/
We have also written to all Parish and Town
Councils around the work they are doing to
celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee and encourage
the use of any land to plant trees for the
community. Support will be given to take
forward and publicise any initiative.

events, from large to small. This pack has been designed to help
provide the most useful and up-to-date information, which you can

Road Closures
If you’re planning to have a street party or
event on a public road, you’ll need to get
permission to close the road. Dacorum’s
road closures will need to be processed by
Hertfordshire County Council. Most of these
requests will be available free of charge, as long
as they do not affect a bus route.
Platinum Jubilee requests will need to be made
before 21 April, to allow for processing time.
