Lord-Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight

Welcome to the website of the Isle of Wight Lieutenancy.

This website seeks to provide information about the role of our Lord-Lieutenant, Mrs Susie Sheldon and the many ways in which the Lieutenancy supports and impacts on the life of the Island’s community.

THE QUEEN’S GREEN CANOPY

The Queen’s Green Canopy 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.”

Click on the photos bellow to see where trees are starting to be planted across the Island.

Community groups (residents’ associations, Scout and Girlguiding groups, youth and sports clubs, Rotary Clubs etc) are encouraged to play their part to enhance our environment by planting trees from October, when the tree planting season begins, through to the end of the Jubilee year in 2022.

PLAN PLANT PROTECT

The best time to plant trees is from October to March. From October you can pin your Jubilee tree on the interactive map. This gives you the summer to plan your tree planting project.
