Around 100 trees have started to be planted across the Harrogate district to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Where will the trees be planted?
- Wetherby Road in Harrogate Road
- Jacob Smiths Park in Knaresborough

The tree planting is part of The Queen's Green Canopy- 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".
Councillor Andy Paraskos, Harrogate Borough Council's cabinet member for environment, waste reduction and recycling, said:
"The Queen's Green Canopy is a wonderful opportunity for us to not only honour Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee but also help address the climate situation and deliver carbon reduction initiatives throughout the Harrogate district.
"Similar to the White Rose Forest project*, we want to encourage as many people as possible in the district to get involved to improve air quality and biodiversity."
